Cigarettes After Sex is a dream pop outfit known for their ethereal sound, intimate lyricism, and signature atmospheric production. Formed in 2008 by vocalist and songwriter Greg Gonzalez, the band found widespread acclaim with their self-titled debut album in 2017, which featured standout tracks like “Apocalypse” and “K.” Their hypnotic blend of reverb-drenched guitars, hushed vocals, and cinematic storytelling has resonated deeply with fans, earning them a dedicated global following.
Following the success of their sophomore album Cry (2019), Cigarettes After Sex continue to refine their melancholic yet romantic aesthetic, drawing inspiration from film, nostalgia, and timeless love stories. Their 2024 release, X’s, expands on these themes, incorporating influences from ’70s and ’80s slow-dance pop ballads. Known for their minimalist yet emotionally charged live performances, the band has toured extensively, captivating audiences with their dreamlike soundscapes and evocative lyricism.
