Model/Actriz's debut album 'Dogsbody' breaks new ground in a rock music landscape often criticized for its lack of originality. Emerging from the Brooklyn music scene, the quartet transcends typical genre labels by integrating noisy influences while crafting a sound that is singularly their own. Developed during the pandemic, instruments were utilized for their percussive capabilities, resulting in a rhythm-driven dynamic. The band's rhythmic complexity has faint echoes of disco and industrial music, yet remains distinct, complemented by Cole Haden's raw vocals delivering audacious lyrics about sexuality and desire, influenced surprisingly by musical theater.
If you were desperate for a comparison, you might have detected in its rhythms the faint ghosts of disco or the more dancefloor-focused end of industrial music.
Largely cultivated during lockdown, it was a style in which, as bass player Aaron Shapiro put it, everything is a drum: each instrument was mined for its percussive capacity.
