Soon to embark on a sold-out UK tour Cigarettes After Sex have today announced the release of their much-anticipated self-titled debut album, Cigarettes After Sex, which will be available Friday 9th June 2017 via Partisan Records.
Cigarettes After Sex frontman Greg Gonzalez had a clear vision for his band’s gorgeously cinematic debut album. After the phenomenal online break-out success of ‘Nothing’s Gonna Hurt You Baby’, from the band’s debut EP 1, the Brooklyn transplant (originally from El Paso) wanted to project his worldview on to a bigger screen, a broader canvas. As Greg explains, “This is like the novel or feature-length version of Cigarettes. I wanted it to feel like a complete work, where some of the imagery repeats – like it’s all in the same world. It’s very much a fulfilment of the feelings in the short works.”
That sense of fulfilment is richly felt on Cigarettes After Sex, which unspools like the most achingly romantic of movies: immersive, cohesive and transporting. Swooning in the spirit of influences such as Mazzy Star and Red House Painters, its sumptuous songs of love elevate Cigarettes to the ranks of those acts who create worlds of their own, exciting the most devoted kind of following. Check it out when it goes on sale 9th June, find the tracklisting below.
Cigarettes After Sex have also shared a new track from their LP entitled ‘Apocalypse’ which you can listen to below, and announced news of further UK dates in the Autumn.
