The Story

Cigarettes After Sex are an American dream pop band founded in El Paso, Texas, in 2008 by singer-songwriter Greg Gonzalez, whose androgynous whisper is the group's signature. Built on hazy, reverb-soaked guitars and slow, intimate grooves, their music turns love and longing into something cinematic and weightless. After the breakout of their self-titled debut (2017) — and the sleeper hit "Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby" — they followed with Cry (2019) and their third album X's (2024), cementing a sound as recognizable as it is romantic.
