Curated by Nala Sinephro News snacks

Brooklyn-based experimental group Model/Actriz are known for their genre-blending sound that incorporates elements of post-punk, noise rock, and electronic music, gaining recognition for their innovative approach.

Earlier this year, Model/Actriz captivated audiences with their debut album, Dogsbody, blending relentless noise with frontman Cole Haden’s foreboding vocals, and now they've unveiled their latest single, Winnipesaukee, which has been a staple throughout their current North American tour. Listen below.

"‘Winnipesaukee’ was among the collection of songs recorded for Dogsbody while working with Seth Manchester at Machines With Magnets in 2021. It’s a mainstay in our live shows, and we still see it as a relevant and poignant companion to the rest of Dogsbody. [...]. Although I’ve never been to this lake before, I couldn’t find another word that sounded more right to my ears than ‘Winnipesaukee,’ so the place I’m describing in this song is not based in New Hampshire, but instead is a snowy place I was daydreaming about walking across alone.” - Cole Haden

Model/Actriz perform at Le Guess Who? 2023 on Sunday, 12 November, as part of the program curated by Nala Sinephro, which also features aya, Slauson Malone 1, Layla Rutherford with Ensemble Insomnio, and more.
