Delivering moments of sheer beauty through somber reflections on longing and loneliness, Cindy Lee is something to hold onto in a world of disorder.Flegel found inspiration for Cindy Lee in the form of Karen Carpenter, drawing on the singer / drummer's early recordings as well as her look and style.

Freak Heat Waves
The Freaks are back with their fifth LP, Mondo Tempo, courtesy of Vancouver's Mood Hut label. A heady cocktail that blends elements of post-punk, psych, dub, ambient, house, and techno, the duo's latest release showcases their signature sound injected with dancehall grooves, ambient textures, trance mantras and midi smoothness. With their most alluring output to date Freak Heat Waves have solidified their reputation as one of the most unpredictable and exciting acts around.
