Model/Actriz Announce New Album ‘Pirouette’
Model/Actriz have announced their sophomore album, Pirouette, set to release on May 2nd via True Panther Records.
Written over the course of the last few years while on tour, the album is “the result of a process we treated first with curiosity to expand our ideas of what we could make together,” says the band. “The album is a collection of the brightest, most danceable, and most personal songs we’ve ever made.”
As a preview, they have shared the album’s lead single “Cinderella.” Speaking about the song, singer Cole Haden says it “distills within it many of the objectives that would become the lifeblood of Pirouette. The song switches between moments of tension and fluidity, dissonance and harmony: we aimed to write something with an inherent brightness that differed anything we had made before, and the light that shines through the song was made not through removing darkness, but through upping the contrast.”
Regarding the lyrics he says, “The lyrics were written in response to that canvas, and give voice to an inner dialogue I once had while on a date with a beautiful man. It’s a song about the realization that there was shame and pain I carried long after it had become obsolete, and while it was uncertain if I would ever see this person again, I could remember him always as the mysterious catalyst that released me from it.”
