Love Games by Nude Model
Nude Model hailing from Chicago with their sophomore album released on No Trend Records, produced by Todd Rittmann of acclaimed Drag City bands Dead Rider and US Maple. They play an explosive brand of post-punk in the vein of bands like black midi, Metz, and Girl Band.
"Everything that’s cataloged under post-whatever has a penchant for noodling, for dragging out songs with repetitive chords or noise that often feels unnecessary. That doesn’t happen here. There’s no noise or show-off just for the sake of it; everything is short and to the point. Even the longest song, “Heartbeat,” feels much shorter than it’s near five-minute run time. Moments fly by, often without ever feeling all that fast. That’s the masterful stroke that Nude Model executes on Love Games – nothing here feels unnecessary. They’ve trimmed out all the excess, leaving you with a crisp slap of sometimes arty, sometimes chaotic post-punk. However you want to phrase it, that’s an excellent accomplishment." -Punk News

Fashionistas, time to disrobe, unapologetically the music of Nude Model is for ALL.
Grinding, dissident, hyper, stripped down, post-everything, made by four Chicago residents. Their sound comes from a deep appreciation of DIY music from 1977-1997.
The music of Nude Model was not created in a bedroom, or on a computer, but with the use of electrified instruments.
