Dogsbody is the debut studio album by American band Model/Actriz. The album was released on February 24, 2023, through True Panther Sounds. [2]
The album has been recorded since 2021. [1] In an interview with Document Journal, frontman Cole Haden described the album as "Picking up my damn body from all of those times, not knowing what really was meant by all of that suffering… This album is the reason for having experienced all of that." [3] Model/Actriz said that Dogsbody recorded with afar from the atmosphere of previous EPs. [4]
Haden, who is openly gay, said that lyrically he was inspired by the musical Cats because it "filled [him] with sexual vigor and terror." [5] According to Haden, "as a gay person working in a genre that’s not very outwardly gay, the album is very gay. And when people from the queer community are relating to it, that makes me feel proud of the thing that we made." [6]

Jayson Greene of Pitchfork reviewed "Dogsbody is the perfect foil to frontman Cole Haden’s white-hot charisma", and gave it a "Best New Music" designation. [1] John Wohlmacher of Beats Per Minute said, "With Haden’s starkly poetic lyrics and borderline crazed delivery comes a counter-position to the harsh music, creating a unique tension that no other group from the American post-no wave scene generated." [7] Dogsbody won "Best Heavy Record" at the 2024 Libera Awards. [9]
