Today, New York City-based industrial rock quarter Model/Actriz release Swan Songs, a three-track EP that comes amidst a prolific period for the rising band.
The new EP is a follow-up to their 2025 album, Pirouette, with singer Cole Haden sharing via a press release that the EP is "a capsule of experiments made in ['Pirouette''s] aftermath."
It's being released during a hectic period of touring for the band — composed of Cole Haden (vocals), Jack Wetmore (guitar), Aaron Shapiro (bass) and Ruben Radlauer (drums). They recently supported Peaches in her global No Lube So Rude Tour with Cortisa Star and Pixel Grip, are currently on their own headlining tour, are set to make their Coachella debut this April, and play key festivals like Best Kept Secret, NOS Primavera Sound Festival, and End of the Road.
The EP further fleshes out the band's signature sound, combining industrial techno danceability with a pop-oriented sensitivity via Haden's writing, which is often both coy and tender. It features the blistering 4-on-the-floor burner, "Glassman," the ambient, slow-moving "Thank You By Dido," and the half-time, mini-epic "Majesty."
