Cindy Lee is the project of former Women guitarist/vocalist Patrick Flegel, and so far this year, have released the amazing, haunting, devastating album "Act of Tenderness." The physical version of that record is not even out yet, and already we've got a new album from the band called "Malenkost." It's just as amazing, haunting, and devastating as ever. The cassette came out last week on Isolated Now Waves, and is already long sold out. No word on a digital release or repress yet, but most of the songs can be found on Youtube. Take a listen to "Always Lovers" below, and while you're at it, head over to CCQSK Records to pre-order "Act of Tenderness" or grab a download of the whole album for free. It's well worth your time. These records are beautiful.
Calgary post-punk band Women was easily one of my favorite acts to come out of the 2000's, and i was super bummed when they disbanded (pun absolutely intended) in 2010. Since then though, the surviving members have been cranking out individual projects to rival Women's all too short of a run. One of those projects is the band (soon to be formerly known as) Viet Cong who put out what is still my favorite album of the year back in January. Another project was called Androgynous Mind which seems to have morphed into what is now called Cindy Lee. Their debut full-length LP, "Act of Tenderness" is due at the end of December, and from the samples and songs that i've heard, it's a messy, noisy masterpiece. Listen to the jerky and haunting "Quit Doing Me Wrong" below and be on the lookout for the record from CCQSK. Get more info here.
