Comment: Sure, nothing much going on till the new Bowie album, dropping in early January, also no surprise release at the end of the year: where is Bey and M.I.A. (and D’Angelo) when you need them. These are the dog days of the music industry as we wait for the New Year with nothing but our memories to keep us going. Still, I have heard one track from Cindy Lee and I am very impressed. From the Gorilla Versus Bear website: “Cindy Lee is the experimental no wave / blues / trans-pop project from former Women (and more recently, Androgynous Mind) guitarist/singer Patrick Flegel. “Power and Possession” is taken from the group’s intensely dark and cathartic new album Act of Tenderness, an eerie fever dream of fleeting, utterly heartbreaking classic girl-group melodies, sometimes obscured by abrasive noise and buried under a heavy layer of murk, casting a palpable, unshakeable gloom over the whole thing.”
