Indian fans will have the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the atmospheric and introspective world of Cigarettes After Sex, a band that has been described as "the soundtrack to a dream."

The band’s recently released, much awaited new album X’s has witnessed a massive draw, bringing sublime dream pop ballads for eager audiences. X’s fuses Cigarettes After Sex's dream pop strengths with ‘90s pop warmth and ‘70s dance floor glow making the listener feel the immediate joy and lingering pain in equal measure.Filled with raw, imagistic vignettes set to entrancing, slow-burn pop songs, bandleader Greg Gonzalez captures every emotion a romantic arc inspires. Where previous albums have drawn from an amalgam of relationships, for the most part, X’s centralises on just one relationship that spanned four years.

While 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.

Cigarettes After Sex, with itsblack and white silhouette visuals, has captivated audiences worldwide with their evocative, melancholic sound. Formed in the late 00’sin El Paso, Texas, the band has quickly rose to global prominence with their unique blend of ambient pop and lushmelodies with India emerging as one of their top streaming markets.
