Cigarettes After Sex, the self-titled debut album from Greg Gonzalez's dream pop band, came out on Partisan Records on June 9, 2017, nearly a decade after he started the project in El Paso, Texas. It had been a slow build: the 2012 EP I. turned "Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby" into a sleeper hit once commercial licensing got hold of it, and the standalone single "Affection" followed in 2015.
The album stays in that hushed, gauzy lane, songs of love and romance drifting past at a slowcore crawl, with Gonzalez's voice, often described as androgynous, floating in the middle of all that reverb like smoke hanging over the sheets. It sits right where dream pop bleeds into shoegaze. Critics liked what they heard, and by May 2018 its UK sales had passed 20,000. Cry followed in 2019.
