Model/Actriz announce new album, Pirouette

Yulissa Benitez

Model/Actriz has announced a new album. On May 2 they’ll release their sophomore album, Pirouette, via True Panther/Dirty Hit. And today they’ve shared the first single, “Cinderella,” which you can check out below via its wild video, along with its tracklist, artwork, and the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Vocalist Cole Haden said of the track in a statement, “‘Cinderella’ 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. 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.”
