CIGARETTES AFTER SEX ADD SECOND MELBOURNE SHOW DUE TO OVERWHELMING DEMAND
Debut LP out now on Partisan Recordings via Pod/Inertia Music
Brooklyn’s dreamiest four-piece Cigarettes After Sex have added a second Melbourne show to their upcoming Australian tour, as the first has now sold out. The tour comes in support of their debut self-titled album, which The Big Issue dubbed “one of 2017’s most intoxicating debuts.”

Lead singer Greg Gonzalez had a clear vision for his band’s debut album, a gorgeously cinematic work which features singles “Apocalypse”, “K” and “Each Time You Fall In Love”. The album unspools like the most achingly romantic of movies: immersive, cohesive and transporting. Swooning in the spirit of influences such as Mazzy Star and Red House Painters, its sumptuous songs of love elevate Cigarettes to the ranks of those acts who create worlds of their own, exciting the most devoted kind of following.
Since their formation, Cigarettes After Sex have become a word-of-mouth phenomenon, generating millions of views on YouTube for their exquisitely yearning, graceful dream-pop. The band’s self-released debut single “Nothing’s Gonna Hurt You Baby” has now clocked up over 70 million streams, and was a soundtrack highlight in current TV favourite The Handmaid’s Tale with Music Junkee commenting “Cigarettes After Sex is the musical find of the series and it’s worth tracking down their self-titled album.”
PRAISE FOR CIGARETTES AFTER SEX
“Hypnotic Brooklyn based Cigarettes After Sex are moody as anything.
Attend this show with your festival crush and the smooches will
happen almost instantly.”
NME
“Beautiful melodies and classy songwriting shine through the billowing
smoke and minimal lighting surrounding the quiet Texas
pop-noir four-piece.”
The Guardian, live review, ★★★★
“For today’s caustic social landscape, they’re the perfect calm in the storm,
marked by Gonzalez’s soothing, high melodies wrapped around ethereal
guitars and reverb-wet percussion. Live, Cigarettes After Sex transform
that subtlety into a trance-like hold.”
Paste Magazine
“Surely one of the year’s finest!”
