What is a Cigarettes After Sex concert like?

Imagine an intimate atmosphere bathed in moody lighting, with Greg Gonzalez’s haunting vocals weaving through ethereal guitar riffs and hypnotic beats. Attending a Cigarettes After Sex live show is like stepping into a serene dreamscape where every note resonates with raw emotion.

At their recent Brooklyn Steel show, for example, the band delivered a performance that mirrored their studio recordings with meticulous precision. Greg Gonzalez’s evocative songwriting took centre stage, enveloping the venue in a haze of melancholic beauty.

The atmosphere was set by soft, drifting lights that complemented the music’s introspective mood, evoking a sense of intimate reflection. While the band’s stage presence was understated, 

Gonzalez’s subtle movements added a touch of presence to their minimalist approach.

Much like their music, the show prioritised the purity of sound over visual spectacle, inviting the audience to lose themselves in the ethereal melodies and poignant lyrics.

What are the new Cigarettes After Sex album like?

Greg Gonzalez, the creative force behind Cigarettes After Sex, channels the emotional upheaval of a decade-old heartbreak into the band's highly anticipated third album, 'X's'. This album emerges from a deeply personal place, drawing inspiration from a four-year relationship that profoundly impacted Gonzalez. Unlike previous albums that stitched together experiences from multiple relationships, 'X's' delves into a single, significant romance's raw and sometimes painful nuances.

The genesis of 'X's' can be traced back to a particularly rough Valentine’s Day Gonzalez experienced ten years ago. Heartbroken and seeking solace, he drove for hours, listening to Sade’s “By Your Side” on repeat. This melancholic journey planted a seed in Gonzalez's mind—a desire to create an album that encapsulates the depth of that emotional experience. As he puts it, "The experience that day stuck in my bones—it was an idea that I couldn’t forget."

'X's' is a collection of raw, imagistic vignettes that capture the breadth of emotions inherent in a romantic relationship. Gonzalez’s songwriting prowess shines through as he weaves these stories into entrancing, slow-burn pop songs that feel intimate and universal. This album marks a significant personal growth for Gonzalez, paralleling the band's meteoric rise from indie darlings to global sensations.

The ten-song collection on 'X's' sees Cigarettes After Sex maintaining their signature mystique, with fans continuing to share their music like treasured secrets. However, there is a subtle shift in the sonic landscape of this album. While still adhering to classic pop song structures, Gonzalez moves away from the '50s and '60s influences that characterised their earlier work. Instead, 'X's' embraces the slow dance vibes of the '70s and '80s, infusing the music with an energy likened to disco ball-refracted tears on the dance floor. This evolution in sound adds a new layer of depth and sophistication to their music, making 'X's' a poignant and compelling addition to their discography.
