Model Express, the extremely limited tape release from Cindy Lee -- aka Patrick Flegel, formerly of beloved Canadian band Women -- is one of our favorite records of 2018, a haunting and occasionally unsettling evolution of the classic, lost-girl-group-melodies-meet-experimental-noise-pop that Pat explored on brilliant earlier releases Act of Tenderness + Malenkost. Previously only available on cassette via Pat's geocities page for the few hours before it sold out, the record has now been given a proper digital release on Super Viaduct / W.25TH. The whole thing is stellar, but side B in particular (starting with "Dry Dive") contains some of the most eerily beautiful and indelible music you'll hear this year.
