Lead Single and Theme
The Brooklyn quartet also shared a powerful lead single “Cinderella,” accompanied by a video directed by Nathan Castiel, showcasing a band stepping into a surreal fairy tale as frontman Cole Heden sings: “In your eyes, I am naked/ screaming like a tornado in the dark/ I see how we lie facing face/ like St. Helens under the stars.”
“Cinderella encapsulates many aspects that will become the essence of Pirouette,” Heden remarked about the new track. “The song transitions between moments of tension and fluidity, dissonance and harmony: we aimed to craft something with an inherent brightness that diverged from all our previous works, generating light not by eliminating darkness, but by enhancing contrast.”

He added: “The lyrics emerged in response to this canvas and voiced an inner dialogue I once had during a date with a stunning man. This song reflects the acknowledgment of shame and pain I carried long after their relevance had faded.”

In an interview with NME in 2023, Grian Chaten from the group praised the Model/Actriz concerts stating, “They are crazy and so exciting—a live band that brings a high energy, especially when they hit the stage. It’s just insane and wonderfully cool.”
During an interview for NME, band member Ruben Radluur discussed their rise in the live music scene, reflecting, “The release of ‘Dogs’ was one of the most significant days of my life; it truly marked my coming-of-age moment.”
“We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to perform live again. When we get the chance to give it our all, we embrace it—that’s who we are, and it’s our mission.”
