Cigarettes After Sex - Cry

Released in October 2019, Cry is Cigarettes After Sex's second album, and it finds Greg Gonzalez refining the hushed, romantic sound of the band's debut rather than reinventing it. The result is a nine-song record that feels even more patient and immersive than its predecessor.

The songs drift at the band's trademark slow pace, built on soft drums, chiming guitar and Gonzalez's breathy, close-miked vocals. "Heavenly" and "Falling In Love" stand among the band's most affecting songs, while the title track, "Kiss It Off Me" and "Don't Let Me Go" sustain the album's late-night, cinematic mood from the first note to the last.

For fans who fell for the first record, Cry is a natural next chapter: a little more lush, a little more lovesick, and every bit as absorbing on a long listen.

This LP edition on Partisan Records presents the album on a single black vinyl record.
