Cigarettes After Sex continue to defy what it means to be one of the biggest cult bands in the world. Five years from the release of their breakout self-titled debut, they have recently seen several viral moments on TikTok unlock new levels of audience growth and album sales. At almost 15M monthly listeners on Spotify and climbing, they are currently the 343rd highest streamed artist on the platform. As the debut album re-enters Top 200 charts globally (including US+UK), Cigarettes After Sex have returned with their first new music in over two years, "Pistol," a song that brings together all of the elements that have made CAS such a celebrated band, while also introducing a subtle yet impactful increase in tempo. Equal parts transportive and romantic, the song’s driving rhythm meets a stark, minimalistic atmosphere that is given dimension by dreamy, washed-out guitars, swelling synths, and intimate, yearning vocals from Greg Gonzalez.
