Bleep

Released just months after Cindy Lee’s second album Malenkost, Act Of Tenderness is a much slower and more considered yet no less toothsome affair. Sombre palettes of vintage harmonies and a deserted sunburnt country twang on ‘Wandering And Solitude’ meet the industrial clanging of tracks like ‘Operation’ in Cindy Lee’s sandpapered exploration of retromania. Amidst blistering bass and hiss does Cindy Lee pour their heart, drawing out the intensity of love through scribbling, burning, throttling spirals of noise while buffeting vortexes of sound contrast against their drawling falsettos.
