About this product
BACK IN PRINT - PRICE INCREASE - Cindy Lee, the performance and songwriting vehicle of Canadian artist Patrick Flegel (who fronted influential indie group Women earlier), previously stunned listeners with Act Of Tenderness, a heart-wrenching statement informed by the noirish core of celebrity, and has continued to enchant with every album, including the startling What's Tonight To Eternity released earlier this year. Model Express originally appeared as a self-released edition of 100 gold cassettes. The arch, filmic drama of Cindy Lee's songwriting-realized with keyboards, guitars, aching voice and collaged, lo-fi production-traverses a wide range of emotional and sonic terrain. The red velvet psych-pop of InchWhat Can I DoInch gives way to the fluid InchDiamond RingInch like radio bursts from space. Model Express finds Flegel at both their most experimental and immediately melodic, and this first-time vinyl recognizes the collected tracks as a pillar in the Cindy Lee catalogue. Cindy Lee (who uses the gender neutral pronoun they) is a drag persona drawing on suburban closet queens and mid-century divas. In keeping with Flegel's interest in the faultlines of identity, gender expression, performance and media, Model Express delivers an intense and diverse set of unforgettable songs. Album Tracks 1. Kromax (Theme from Kromax Aka Real State) 2. A Cold Fog Is Still Descending (KCP Sound Collage) 3. Model Express 4. Who You Want I'll Be 5. What Can I Do 6. What I Need (Alternate Version) 7. Dry Dive 8. Burning Candle 9. Left Hand Path 10. Are You Lonesome Tonight? 11. Don't Let Me Down 12. Diamond Ring 13. Be My Shining Star (Instrumental)

Originally released as an edition of 50 lathe-cut LPs housed in silk-screened jackets in 2020 (fast on the heels of What's Tonight To Eternity), Cat O' Nine Tails has long intrigued die-hard Cindy Lee fans with it's combination of the classic songwriting that would dominate Diamond Jubilee a few years later and an actual suite of classical songs under the title itself. Opening with the gothic soap opera theme of InchOur Lady Of SorrowsInch into the manic exploration of InchCat O' Nine Tails,Inch onto the dusty western walk through Patrick Flegel's lovely guitar work on InchFaith Restored,Inch the album seems to soundtrack the coolest movie the late '60s ever produced. All of this builds to the rich and sweeping ballad of bruised hearts that introduces that beautiful voice via InchLove Remains.Inch - - Side Two sees 2024 live show closer InchCat O' Nine Tails IIIInch complete the suite to epic effect, before introducing the absolute showstopper that is InchI Don't Want To Fall In Love Again.Inch It is tender and fragile in that way that only Flegel can make both familiar and unique. Closing with the ethereal soul shuffle stomp of InchBondage Of The Mind,Inch the album showcases nine songs from an essential time in the Cindy Lee evolution. W.25th / Superior Viaduct is proud to bring this collection to the larger audience it deserves. Album Tracks 1. Our Lady of Sorrows 2. Cat O' Nine Tails 3. Faith Restored 4. Love Remains 5. Cat O' Nine Tails II 6. As I'm Stepping Through the Gates 7. Cat O' Nine Tails III 8. I Don't Want to Fall in Love Again 9. Bondage of the Mind

For Patrick Flegel, Cindy Lee is more than just a recording music project. It is the culmination of a lifelong exploration of art, the electric guitar, queer identity and gender expression. InchSingers like Patsy Cline and The Supremes carried me through the hardest times of my life,Inch explains Flegel, Inchand also provided the soundtrack to the best times.InchFollowing the dissolution of Canadian experimental indie band Women, Flegel would delve deeper into songwriting that bends further toward high atmospherics and bracing melodies-a unique space where splendor naturally collides with experimentation. Delivering moments of sheer beauty through somber reflections on longing and loneliness, Cindy Lee is something to hold onto in a world of disorder.What's Tonight To Eternity, Cindy Lee's fifth long-form offering, showcases the project's most entrancing strengths ethereal snowdrift pop and sly nods toward classic girl-group motifs. Recorded at Flegel's Realistik Studios in Toronto and featuring younger brother Andrew Flegel on drums, the album travels hand in hand with a spectral guide.Flegel found inspiration for Cindy Lee in the form of Karen Carpenter, drawing on the singer / drummer's early recordings as well as her look and style. InchI found a deep interest and comfort in Karen's story, which is a cautionary tale about the monstrosity of show business, stardom at a young age and being a misfit looking for connection. The darkness and victimizing tabloid sensationalism she suffered is easily tempered and overwhelmed by her earnest output, her artistry, her tireless work ethic. Something utterly unique and magical takes shape in the negative space, out of exclusion. What I relate to in her has to do with what is hidden, what is unknown.InchWhat's Tonight To Eternity remains a mix of pop culture indoctrination, pain and suffering, hopes and dreams, fierce confron
