Our Take

Prepare to be seduced, dear listeners, by the melancholic serenades of Cigarettes After Sex's latest offering, XSin. Like a smokey jazz club on a rainy night, this album oozes with atmospheric allure and an intoxicating blend of dream pop and shoegaze.

Lead singer Greg Gonzalez's velvety vocals caress each track with a sultry sophistication, luring you into a world of lovesick longing and bittersweet memories. The shimmering guitar lines and ethereal synths create a sonic landscape that is both hauntingly beautiful and utterly hypnotic.

Standout tracks like "K." and "You're the Only Good Thing in My Life" showcase the band's ability to craft soul-stirring ballads that tug at the heartstrings. The languid pacing and hazy production give each song a dream-like quality, like floating in a blissful state of emotional surrender.

But don't be fooled by the seductive allure of XSin – there is a darkness lurking beneath the surface. Themes of obsession, heartbreak, and unrequited love are woven throughout the album, adding a layer of depth to the superficially dreamy facade.

In conclusion, Cigarettes After Sex's XSin is a mesmerising journey into the shadowy recesses of the heart, a bittersweet symphony that will leave you yearning for more. So light up a cigarette, pour yourself a stiff drink, and let the intoxicating allure of this album wash over you like a velvet blanket of melancholy.

About the artist

Cigarettes After Sex

CIGARETTES AFTER SEX are the musical equivalent of a whispered confession in a dimly lit room. This ambient pop band hails from El Paso, Texas, and has been bewitching listeners with their dreamy, sensual sound since 2008. Fronted by the enigmatic Greg Gonzalez, CIGARETTES AFTER SEX have a knack for crafting hauntingly beautiful melodies that linger in your mind long after the song has ended. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2017, was met with critical acclaim and catapulted them to indie stardom. With their atmospheric instrumentals and Gonzalez's soft, velvety vocals, CIGARETTES AFTER SEX create a hypnotic soundscape that is perfect for late-night listening sessions or romantic rendezvous. Their music is like a slow-burning cigarette – you can't rush it, you have to savour every moment. Despite their name, CIGARETTES AFTER SEX are not your typical rock 'n' roll rebels. Their music is more about introspection and intimacy than wild nights and hedonistic escapades. But don't let that fool you – their songs have a seductive charm that will lure you in and leave you wanting more. If you're a fan of ethereal pop music that feels like a whispered secret, then CIGARETTES AFTER SEX are the band for you. So grab a glass of wine, dim the lights, and let their enchanting melodies wash over you. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
