While Dogsbody’s combination of high-tension dance grooves and rattling screech proved an excellent simulation of pleasure and terror, it left a lingering question: how would a band with a sound so distinct keep it up? The resounding answer presented by Model/Actriz’s follow-up Pirouette, confidently and beautifully.

Talulah Paisley - "Slink" Video | Post-Trash Premiere
Talulah Paisley’s music is as familiar as it is alien and “Slink” is remarkably distinct.

Sharp Pins continue to deliver records that are inspired by the seemingly simple jangle of bands like Big Star and the Hollies, yet manage to meet those high standards of crafty and intelligent songwriting in a modern and inventive manner.
