The arch, filmic drama of <strong>Cindy Lee<\/strong>&#8216;s songwriting \u2013 realized with keyboards, guitars, aching voice and collaged, lo-fi production \u2013 traverses a wide range of emotional and sonic terrain. The red velvet psych-pop of &#8220;What Can I Do&#8221; gives way to the fluid &#8220;Diamond Ring&#8221; like radio bursts from space. \u201c<strong>Model Express<\/strong>\u201d finds Flegel at both their most experimental and immediately melodic, and this first-time vinyl release recognizes the collected tracks as a pillar in the <strong>Cindy Lee<\/strong> catalogue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cindy Lee<\/strong> is a drag persona drawing on suburban closet queens and mid-century divas. In keeping with Flegel&#8217;s interest in the faultlines of identity, gender expression, performance and media, \u201c<strong>Model Express<\/strong>\u201d delivers an intense and diverse set of unforgettable songs.<\/p>\n<p>For Patrick Flegel, <strong>Cindy Lee<\/strong> 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. &#8220;Singers like Patsy Cline and The Supremes carried me through the hardest times of my life,&#8221; explains Flegel, &#8220;and also provided the soundtrack to the best times.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Following the dissolution of Canadian experimental indie band Women, Flegel would delve deeper into songwriting that bends further toward high atmospherics and bracing melodies \u2013 a unique space where splendor naturally collides with experimentation. Delivering moments of sheer beauty through somber reflections on longing and loneliness, <strong>Cindy Lee<\/strong> is something to hold onto in a world of disorder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>W.25th<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"p1\"><strong>W.25th<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\u201c<strong>Model Express<\/strong>\u201d originally appeared as a self-released edition of 100 gold cassettes.
