Our Take

Cigarettes After Sex, the dreamy ambient pop band that feels like lounging in a smoky jazz club filled with velvet cushions and intense eye contact, have finally dropped their much-anticipated album, "X." And let me tell you, it's like being serenaded by a sexy ghost in your bedroom.

Each track on "X" is a slow burn, dripping with sensual lyrics and seductive melodies. Lead singer Greg Gonzalez's whispered vocals lull you into a state of blissful melancholy, like a breakup song you never knew you needed. The band's signature hazy soundscapes are present throughout, creating an atmosphere that's both intimate and ethereal.

Highlights include the hypnotic "K.," with its swirling guitars and haunting refrain, and the languid "Each Time You Fall in Love," a confession of heartache that hits you right in the gut. The album closer, "Truly," is a bittersweet ode to lost love that will leave you yearning for more.

Overall, "X" is a brooding masterpiece that showcases Cigarettes After Sex's unique ability to capture the complexities of human emotion in a single song. So grab a glass of red wine, light some candles, and let yourself be swept away by the intoxicating beauty of this album. Cheers to Cigarettes After Sex for delivering another record that's as deliciously addictive as, well, cigarettes after sex.

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.
