Model/Actriz have announced their debut album, Dogsbody, due out February 24 via True Panther. They’ve also shared the record’s second single, “Crossing Guard,” which follows November’s “Mosquito,” a certified Song You Need.

On “Crossing Guard,” the quartet of Cole Haden (vocals), Jackson Wetmore (guitar), Ruben Radlauer (bass), and Aaron Shapiro (drums) channel Throbbing Gristle and the synth-punk legends of yore for a pulsing cut that reimagines its titular character as a figure far removed from school parking lots. There’s a slightly sinister undercurrent to Haden’s fried delivery as he deadpans the song’s visceral hook: “At the crossing guard’s relay / There’s no hands left to take / So grab me by the teeth / And whisper it to me.”
