Cigarettes After Sex

Group·United States·since 2008·dream pop/pop/ambient pop

Cigarettes After Sex crafts a sonic world of subterranean textures and sepulchral pacing, blending dream pop, slowcore, and ambient elements.

The group is defined by the androgynous, whispered tenor of frontman Greg Gonzalez, whose vocals float over spidery guitar lines and elastic basslines. Their approach is one of extreme restraint, utilizing repetition and a less-is-more ethos to create a mood of millennial ennui and noir atmosphere. Lyrically, the project focuses on intimate, often explicit vignettes of sexual encounters and romantic longing, treating these moments as fodder for quiet introspection. Their sound mirrors the atmospheric darkness of Angelo Badalamenti and the shimmering textures of the Cocteau Twins, while echoing the reverberated, plucked guitars found in the work of the Cowboy Junkies and Mojave 3.
