Cindy Lee - Model Express (2025 Reissue)

'Model Express', a collection of B-sides and lost hits, first appeared as a self-released edition of 100 gold cassettes. The arch, filmic drama of Cindy Lee's songwriting – realised 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 "What Can I Do" gives way to the fluid "Diamond Ring" like radio bursts from space.

'Model Express' finds Flegel at both their most experimental and immediately melodic, and this repress recognises the collected tracks as a pillar in the Cindy Lee catalogue.
