Cigarettes After Sex

like a slowed down version of the jesus & mary chain, this ep is full of promise – the dreamy, noirish quality of the backing & vocals alike conjure the sensation of a darkened room in the hours between sleep & wakefulness.

based out of Brooklyn, they’re inspired by the likes of The Cocteau Twins, Red House Painters & Mazzy Star. “A recent upswell of millions of YouTube hits have rained on this romantic, wistful Brooklyn band that plays at a heartbroken crawl.” - Rolling Stone. “Cigarettes After Sex’s sound is elemental, hazy, & romantic, but with a noir edge underneath Gonzalez’s androgynous voice. As the band’s name suggests, it’s reminiscent of lying in bed, but its ambient qualities don’t prevent it from being music you can dance to.” – Noisey
