Cigarettes After Sex reinvents the musical landscape with 'X's,' a brutal yet magical album that establishes the band as a contemporary legend. With 'X's, Cigarettes After Sex finally takes center stage, not just as one of today’s top independent bands, but as one of the most accomplished acts globally, across all genres, whose often unconventional path to fame has helped redefine the very definition of success for artists in the modern era. Filled with raw, vivid, at times explicit scenes accompanied by haunting, slow-burning pop songs, songwriter Greg Gonzalez captures every emotion a romantic episode can inspire. But while previous albums drew from a mix of relationships, 'X's largely focuses on a single relationship, spread over four years. "The album is brutal," Gonzalez admits. "I could sit down and talk to a friend about this breakup, but that wouldn’t be enough. I need to write, sing, make music, and then I can start to analyze and learn lessons. Or simply relive it – in a good way. I don't have that 'Eternal Sunshine' side of wanting to forget." A magical third album that marks the return of Cigarettes After Sex to the top.
