"BACK IN PRINT - PRICE INCREASE -Cindy Lee is the diva alter-ego of singer / guitarist / drag queen Patrick Flegel, the one-time captain of heralded Canadian experimental guitar pop act, Women. In Flegel's working on / as Cindy Lee exclusively over recent years, their songwriting makes a move toward high atmospherics, often achieving a mysterious sweetness rooted equally in beauty and ache. As Cindy Lee's first long-form statement, Act Of Tenderness makes use of antipodal themes to create a living sound: static with grace, distortion and sugar, all masterfully arranged with crooked nods toward pop classicism. The layered vocal on ""Power And Possession"" creates a palpable haunt, bringing historical girl-group lament to choir-esque heights. The feedback shriek and industrial grind of ""Bonsai Garden"" provides near-operatic damage, yet never stumbles into the irrevocably grave. These snowy pieces give the album a decidedly cinematic feel, albeit one bent more towards Eraserhead. Originally released in a scant private edition in 2015, Superior Viaduct's imprint W.25th is pleased to give Act Of Tenderness it's deserving wide release." Act of Tenderness, Power and Possession, What I Need, New Romance, Last Train's Come and Gone, Operation, Quit Doing Me Wrong, Fallen Angel, Bonsai Garden, Miracle of the Rose, Wandering and Solitude, A New Love Is Believing
