Model/Actriz - Dogsbody (2025 Repress)

A nerve-shredding, 4-to-the floor, jaw-dropping rumpus that blends industrial noise with emotionally fraught post-punk – equal parts groovy and grimy. Amongst the likes of VLURE, SCALER and Mandy, Indiana, we’re in the thick of a golden age of scuzzy dance-punk and industrial noise-rock. Enter: Model/Actriz, whose debut LP has blown our socks off with its kilter-knocking oscillations between colossal techno rhythms & nigh-on post-rock levels of tender, pensive refrains. ‘Dogsbody’ hurtles us from the swaggering machismo of opener ‘Donkey Pride’, through to the vulnerable, experimental beauty of closer ‘Sun In’. An album that fully grabs your heart by the balls. FFO: Mandy, Indiana / Suicide / Black Country, New Road
