Diamond Jubilee [3LP Vinyl]

Cindy Lee - Diamond Jubilee [3LP Vinyl]

Superior Viaduct and our new artist label, W.25th, are proud to continue to be the home for Cindy Lee with the physical release of the celebrated album Diamond Jubilee. Universally praised, shortlisted for the 2024 Polaris Music Prize, and already hailed by Pitchfork as the 3rd best album of the 2020s, anticipation and conversation around the record has been high. Cindy Lee is the performance and songwriting vehicle of Patrick Flegel (who previously fronted influential indie group Women). Over several albums, Flegel has combined delicate melodies and sheer beauty with moments of experimentation. With Diamond Jubilee, Flegel's undeniable songcraft comes to the foreground, embracing a more instant connection and accessibility. Timeless tales of love and longing, surrounded by sticky hooks, take the listener on an unforgettable journey. Diamond Jubilee was written and recorded over several years by Patrick Flegel in Toronto, Durham, Calgary and Montreal at Realistik Studios. The album was mixed by Steven Lind, who also contributes to several tracks and co-wrote "Baby Blue," and was mastered by Joshua Stevenson. Triple LP on black vinyl comes with 24" x 36" poster. "Each song like a foggy transmission from a rock 'n' roll netherworld with it's ghostly canon of beloved hits." -Pitchfork "Their masterwork, beamed down from another world, will always feel out of time and, therefore, feel at home in any given moment." -Paste "Top album and song of the year so far... a legit timeless psych-pop masterpiece." -Gorilla Vs Bear "The word of mouth album of the year." -The Guardian "Intimate, serendipitous magic... Diamond Jubilee is not merely a piece of art, it's the entire exhibition." -Stereogum "The greatest thing to happen to lo-fi pop in like a decade." -The Needle Drop "An artist operating at the peak of their powers who is able to harness and crystallize all that potency and charge into a record." -Uncut
