It’s not uncommon to see Model/Actriz’s moniker attached to remixes for other artists like Folly Group or The Armed (and even producing standout tracks for songwriters like Charlotte Weinman of Horsepower).

Darlings of Brooklyn’s indie-electro scene, the quartet broke through in 2023 with Dogsbody and completely arrived last summer with Pirouette, an 11-track, heart-pumping outing that’s gay AF and painfully-introspective, too.

Gripping from the opening of “Vespers” until the final, stabbing naked breaths of “Baton,” it’ll be cathartic to hear the album come to life after an opening set from Miami-based techno producer Allan Gallego.

Tickets to see Model/Actriz play the music hall at New World Tampa on Sunday, Feb. 22 are still available for $17.
