Toronto post-punk duo Modele released a video for their single “Under the Starlight,” forthcoming from their album Divine Surrender. Frontman Chris Huggett conceived the song whole on Christmas Day, arriving as an unbidden creative vision. The track features a deep, resonant bassline that gradually builds into climbing guitars, with Huggett’s vocals delivering weighty, hunger-driven lyrics exploring doomed love and mortality. Modele draws influence from post-punk lineage—The Mission, Clan of Xymox, and Cold Cave—while maintaining distinct identity through balancing beauty and dread. Directors Leann Weston and Kuba Rygal crafted accompanying visuals in black and white, depicting the band wandering a mysterious shoreline as though traversing their own memories, pursuing ghosts and lost time. The imagery reinforces themes of romance, death, and remembrance converging at the water’s edge, creating dreamlike atmosphere matching the song’s melancholic introspection.
