May 29, 2024On paper, it sounds chaotic—an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach to cramming in as many styles and musical tricks as it can manage, leaving you to cherry-pick according to your own preferences. In practice, it feels like something complete: a sonic exploration of at least the last 70 years of popular and alternative music synthesized into one bizarre package.

May 29, 2024Diamond Jubilee feels like the work of an artist operating at the peak of their powers who is able to harness and crystallise all that potency and charge into a record that, on the surface, should be far too large, messy and stretched out to contain such a cohesive body of work.

May 29, 2024To call the record spectacular doesn’t do it justice. Over the span of 32 songs, Cindy Lee and Flegel melt into a wholly new sound world of imaginary Americana that feels incredibly hypnagogic. 1966 weighs heavy here, as The Velvet Underground, The Byrds, Ricky Nelson and Joe Meek collide into a strange new sound.

Classic Rock MagazineMar 11, 2025It's an album outside its own time, designed to intrigue the dedicated few rather than service the content-consuming many, and if nothing else it's bringing the art of enigmatic charisma back to the world of rock. [Apr 2025, p.74]
