Just another prayer
And I’m down here on my knees
Just another prayer
Well I’m begging darling please
Modele’s new single Just Another Prayer feels like the kind of song you find when the night’s gone too quiet and you start talking to the ceiling for answers. Chris Huggett and Nathan Wiltshire, two souls from the frostbitten gutters of Toronto, deal in confession. Their debut album Pleasure For The Holy came out earlier this year, and if that was their scripture, this is the candle still burning in the chapel’s ruins.
The song rolls in slow, a bassline low enough to make your ribs hum, guitars arching upward like they’re trying to claw daylight out of black glass. Huggett’s voice kneels before us: deep, resonant, trembling with that dangerous thing called belief. Not the kind of belief that saves you, but the kind that keeps you crawling forward because you’ve got nothing else left. The band doesn’t flinch from the feeling; they stare right into it until the light gives out.
There’s something holy and unhinged here, like the bastard child of a cathedral hymn and a 3 a.m. confession booth. The track swells, drops, then climbs again, every note soaked in ache. It’s the sound of faith fraying at the edges, and love trying to patch it up with trembling hands. The guitars stretch out like dying prayers, hanging in the air before the drums drag everything back to the dirt. You can almost hear the echoes of The Mission, Clan of Xymox, The The, even a trace of INXS in the way the melody aches toward redemption while the rhythm keeps it tethered to the earth.
The video, shot in stark black and white by director Kuba Rygal and cinematographer Leann Weston, catches that same sense of sacred decay. Modele perform like ghosts of themselves, lit from within by something they probably shouldn’t touch. There’s no gimmickry here, just raw presence. Every frame looks like a relic from a lost film reel that someone found in the back of an abandoned theatre.

Modele builds their own altar from fragments of faith and feedback. Just Another Prayer is the kind of track that doesn’t care if you’re listening; it’s saying what it has to say, even if it means shouting into the void. Maybe that’s the point. Some prayers are never meant to be answered – they’re meant to remind you you’re still alive enough to ask.
