The arch, filmic drama of Cindy Lee’s songwriting—realized 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 first-time vinyl release recognizes the collected tracks as a pillar in the Cindy Lee catalogue. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eCindy Lee (who uses the gender neutral pronoun they) is a drag persona drawing on suburban closet queens and mid-century divas. In keeping with Flegel’s interest in the faultlines of identity, gender expression, performance and media, Model Express delivers an intense and diverse set of unforgettable songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n• First-time vinyl release of super limited cassette\u003cbr\u003e\r\n• 40-minute compilation of lost hits, alternate versions and B-sides\u003cbr\u003e\r\n• Recommended for fans of Lesley Gore, Townes Van Zandt and Hans-Joachim Roedelius\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n #1 Kromax Theme (AKA Real State)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n #2 A Cold Fog Is Still Descending (KCP Sound Collage)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n #3 Model Express\u003cbr\u003e\r\n #4 Who You Want I'll Be\u003cbr\u003e\r\n #5 What Can I Do (A Wasted Walk)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n #6 What I Need (Alternate Version)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n #7 Dry Dive\u003cbr\u003e\r\n #8 Burning Candle\u003cbr\u003e\r\n #9 Left Hand Path\u003cbr\u003e\r\n #10 Are You Lonesome Tonight\u003cbr\u003e\r\n #11 Don't Let Me Down\u003cbr\u003e\r\n #12 Diamond Ring\u003cbr\u003e\r\n #13 Be My Shining Star (Instrumental Version)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedia Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: ALT\/INDIE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Type: LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/31\/2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Love Vinyl Records","offers":[{"title":"- ALT\/INDIE *SEALED*","offer_id":49262586233074,"sku":"0LLWZU-UJBK-00","price":22.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/alt-indie-new_0LA2a.jpg?v=1779733726","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/model-express-vinyl-mint-m-mint-m","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
