One of the most obscurely beautiful pop records that's passed through my speakers in recent memory, Act of Tenderness, finds a unique path to deliver haunting, aching throbs from Patrick Flegel of Cindy Lee's distinct, ghostly persona. Reissued by Maple Death Records, Act of Tenderness' dejected, emotionally soaked songs push past the atonal industrial timbre filtering into a operatic brooding ecstasy.
