Model/Actriz unveil details of second album, Pirouette
Brooklyn-based four piece Model/Actriz have announced their forthcoming second album Pirouette, and share the lead single, “Cinderella”.
“Cinderella distills within it many of the objectives that would become the lifeblood of Pirouette," explains Cole Haden. 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. 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.”
The accompanying video directed by Nathan Castiel (Remi Wolf, Surf Curse), who previously directed videos for “Crossing Guard” and “Matador,” is a campy spin on the classic titular story, featuring vocalist Cole Haden as Cinderella, guitarist Jack Wetmore as Cinderella’s step-mother Lady Tremaine, drummer Ruben Radlauer and bassist Aaron Shapiro as step-sisters Drizella and Anastasia, with musicians Gallipony and Magdalene guest-starring as Prince Charming and The Fairy Godmother.
