Playful and smart, quietly surreal and unguardedly romantic, Model Shop evoke the soundtrack to a lost John Hughes film.

With touchstones in 80s college rock, 90s alternative, and indiepop of a more recent vintage, they create guitar pop with shaggy hooks and well-coiffed harmonies.

Seattle's Model Shop returns with 'Easy Winter', the lead single from their upcoming 'Check the Forecast' EP, and the follow-up to the pop trio's acclaimed debut LP, 'Love Interest' (2022), which was heralded as "a masterpiece full of sparkling melodies and rainbow-colored harmonies," and "one of the finest indie pop albums of the year." It garnered fans and spins across the globe, pages of rave reviews, and appeared in rotation and on the charts at legendary KEXP 90.3.

Formed in 2019 by descendants of indie pop darlings Math and Physics Club, Model Shop spins shimmering melodies and acrobatic pop hooks that probe the ether of love and longing, evoking lost ages and still-luminous possibilities.

Their music is "a joyous slice of indie pop that takes heavy artillery to any lingering grey clouds" and evokes "that feeling of being suddenly knocked out of one's heart".
