He has boundless passion for making the best song possible. Not the best ‘rock’ song — the best song possible.” He continues, “It was writing selfishly that helped make it possible. Reflecting.

On album opener ‘K.’, a tale of blossoming love etched in tiny details luxuriates over chiming guitars; on the hymn to romantic compulsion of ‘Each Time You Fall in Love’, the suspended animation of Angelo Badalamenti’s heart-stopping Twin Peaks music is echoed. ‘Sunsetz’ and the gently lilting ‘Sweet’, meanwhile, showcase Gonzalez’s ability to weave impressionistic snapshots of romance into melodies that haunt like memories of past loves, all coalescing around his melting vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElsewhere, Gonzalez mounts movies in miniature with the photographic references of ‘Flash’ and Fitzcarraldo echoes of ‘Opera House’, a song so lovingly languid it could, conceivably, soundtrack a man hauling ships over mountains for love. And, just as every good film-maker knows the need for a killer finale, so Gonzalez closes the album with the retro-romantic swing and teasingly filthy put-downs (the “sucking cock” lyric isn’t as barbed as it seems, just friendly joshing) of ‘Young \u0026amp; Dumb’, which brings the album to a close with good, timeless advice: “Drive your car to the beach with the song on repeat…”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo mirror their woozy romanticism in music, Gonzalez rejected conventional studio routes for his band, which numbers Randy Miller on bass, Jacob Tomsky on drums and Phillip Tubbs on keyboards. Taking influence from The Cowboy Junkies’ The Trinity Session (recorded in a church, single microphone), Cigarettes recorded most of the album in three days at the Sweatshop rehearsal space, Bushwick. The exception is ‘Each Time You Fall in Love’, which was recorded in the Beekman’s stairway after hours, the ghosts of screen lovers channelled in every warm note. Like the best movie, Cigarettes After Sex holds you in a hell of a spell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlease note that orders to Australia \/ New Zealand for this title will not be fulfilled.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cigarettes After Sex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47258281246914,"sku":"100P-12171","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0731\/0773\/4722\/files\/self-titledcassette.png?v=1773419812"},{"product_id":"cry-cassette","title":"Cry - Cassette","description":"\u003cp\u003e“I’ve always avoided studios,” says Cigarettes After Sex frontman Greg Gonzalez. “There’s something special about recording out in the world, some kind of X-factor that comes from the character and atmosphere of wherever it is that you’re working that becomes essential to the feeling of the music.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat marriage of sound and setting is the heart and soul of Cry, Cigarettes After Sex’s riveting sophomore album. Recorded in a stunning house on the Spanish island of Mallorca, the collection reflects the uneasy beauty, erotic longing, and stark minimalism of the space, all smooth lines and soft light. Energized by the fresh palette and setting, Gonzalez would write songs just minutes before recording them with the band—drummer Jacob Tomsky, bassist Randy Miller, and keyboardist Phillip Tubbs. He engineered and produced the sessions himself, with an emphasis on capturing live performances and exploring the material together in dialogue with the house and with each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClocking in at nine songs, Cry is a compact collection, but its brevity belies its depth. While the band’s sound may be most associated with the romantic pop music of the late 50’s and early 60’s, Gonzalez pushes into more unexpected sonic territory on Cry, reaching back to his childhood in El Paso, Texas, to draw subtle melodic influence from 90’s Tejano stars like Selena and mainstream pop country artists like Shania Twain. Gonzalez pushes himself lyrically on the album, too, tackling sex with the graphic frankness of Henry Miller or Leonard Cohen as he renders unabashed, sometimes explicitly erotic scenes with a casual candor. Writing with a filmmaker’s eye, he captures tiny moments with a rich, cinematic detail that manages to locate the profound within the mundane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cigarettes After Sex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47258282361026,"sku":"100P-12150","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0731\/0773\/4722\/files\/crycassette_4fa18b79-2fbc-4e29-9dcb-b301a29edcfd.png?v=1773419826"},{"product_id":"xs-cassette","title":"X's Cassette","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith X’s, Cigarettes After Sex finally takes center stage as not just one of today’s preeminent indie bands, but as one of the most globally accomplished acts across any genre, whose often unconventional path to superstardom has helped reshape the very definition of success for artists in the modern era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilled with raw, imagistic, sometimes smutty vignettes set to entrancing, slowburn pop songs, bandleader Greg Gonzalez captures every emotion a romantic arc inspires. But where previous albums have drawn from an amalgam of relationships, for the most part, X’s centralizes on just one relationship that spanned four years. “The record feels brutal,” admits Gonzalez. “I could sit and talk about this loss to someone, but that wouldn’t scratch the surface. I have to really write about it, sing about it, have the music, and then I can start to analyze and learn from it. Or just relive it—in a good way. I don’t have that Eternal Sunshine-thing of wanting to forget.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile continuing to observe classic pop song structures, Gonzalez has moved away from the prior sonic touchstones of the ‘50s and ‘60s, finding himself now drawn to a ‘70s\/’80s slow dance. While (in typical Cigarettes style) these changes may be subtle, the overall resulting energy is akin to disco ball-refracted tears on the dance floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlease note that orders to Australia \/ New Zealand for this title will not be fulfilled.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cigarettes After Sex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47258282819778,"sku":"100P-12143","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0731\/0773\/4722\/files\/x_scassette.png?v=1773419842"},{"product_id":"projector-cassette","title":"Projector Cassette","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeese is a band that begins and ends in Brooklyn, as a project between friends to build a home studio out of a basement.
