Having seen Cindy Lee live and up close in Toronto few years back, I can tell you that Flegel's Cindy Lee voice is the result of vocal processing on the mic, probably a simple pitchbender situation. Cindy Lee's tragic girl-group persona, drawing from the Supremes and Asian pop, but also noisier influences like Japan's Les Rallizes Denudes, is definitely one of the more interesting inventions in independent music in the past decade... (I was a massive fan of Women, and have followed Flegel's output since the band's sad demise -- not for everyone; definitely comparable to Sonic Youth, in their uncanny ability to find beauty in dissonance -- but rewarding to those seeking adventurous sonic terrain...)
Interesting background. Thanks.
@@scottalic4067 so that's his secret🤨
The best album of this year. Best tracks on here are "kingdom come", "if you hear me crying" and "24/7 heaven"
Thanks for the song suggestions.
Please react to these! Modern miniature masterpieces. These two songs you've reacted to are good but also just scratching the surface of this brilliant record
'Government Cheque' another perfect song of this LP
Patrick Flegel is the most important independent artist of this gen.
He is getting a lot of views for sure. Someday I will listen to the rest of the album...but on camera.
@@wallbangerreactions Been a fan of Pat's stuff for a long time. Game changer, people are just starting to notice. Props to you!
This is one of the coolest albums thats come out this year, love it
I'm yet to listen to the whole thing. You're inspiring me to go for it.
@@wallbangerreactionswhat are you waiting for ?
I'd never heard of Cindy Lee before this album either. "Kingdom Come" was my favorite, might be my favorite song I've heard this year so far.
I'll have to check it out.
Listen to the whole thing on your own time it is truly exceptional!!
Others have said the same thing.
Great video! "Women" are an amazing band, specifically their song Eyesore has one of my favorite opening riffs ever
Thanks and thanks for the mention on his former band.
@@wallbangerreactionsi would also check out their song shaking hand
In answer to your quandry, yes that is Patrick very convincingly singing the female voice. He performs in drag live. He is phenomenal as is his entire album and what's more, he also plays all the guitar parts himself.
Thanks for confirming.
@@wallbangerreactions my pleasure, sir 🙂
Yay Cindy Lee is just so 60s in the best way
Thanks for watching and commenting.
I'm going to have to listen to this whole album now.
32 songs. If you do, let me know what you think.

Listened to it twice yesterday. I think these two tracks are indicative of the album as a whole. It kept my attention and struck me as a strange forgotten 60's album you might have found in a dusty thrift store bin.
I could have used a bit more dynamic range at times, but I enjoyed the brashness of the music.
@@JackCerro Gracias Jack.
Awesome
Gracias.
Awesome video, keep it up man! You look great btw
Oh wow, thanks for the kind words. I'm gushing.
Also, it's considered a part of a genre called hypnogogic (I could be spelling that wrong but it's close).
I've run into that word. Maybe Ariel Pink reaction? Not sure.
yup, it is Hypnagogic Pop and Cindy Lee had already played with this kind of sound on her previous album "What's Tonight to Eternity", where she does this style of Hypnagogic Pop with Noise, and on Diamond Jubilee she replaces the Noise (or reduces it) in exchange for ambition, I feel that this album plays with more sounds like Psychedelic Pop, Art Rock, Alt Country, Traditional Pop. Amazing album, really great!
How was this album brought to your attention? This isn't exactly mainstream music
