Lead singer Greg Gonzalez draws from profound personal experiences to create his music. Ten years ago, he faced a challenging Valentine’s Day, and the emotions from that day inspired the haunting melodies and lyrics that have captivated audiences worldwide. His reflective songwriting style perfectly captures the raw emotions of love and heartbreak.

With their third album, X, Gonzalez explores the intricacies of a relationship that lasted four years. He describes the record as “brutal,” reflecting on the pain of loss while simultaneously offering listeners a chance to connect through shared experiences. “I have to really write about it, sing about it, have the music, and then I can start to analyze and learn from it,” Gonzalez states.

Cigarettes After Sex has undergone an incredible transformation from a beloved indie act to a global phenomenon. Their distinctive sound combines entrancing slow-burn pop with imagery-rich lyrics, creating an immersive experience that resonates with fans. Their unique approach to classic pop song structures draws inspiration from the 70s and 80s, ensuring that each performance is a nostalgic journey.
