Cigarettes After Sex reinvents the musical landscape with 'X's,' a brutal and magical album that establishes the band as a contemporary legend. With 'X's,' Cigarettes After Sex finally takes center stage, not only as one of today's best indie bands but also as one of the most accomplished global acts across all genres, whose often unconventional journey to stardom has helped redefine the very definition of success for artists in the modern era. Filled with raw, vivid, sometimes 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 inspiration from a mix of relationships, 'X's' largely focuses on a single relationship, spanning four years. "The album is brutal," Gonzalez admits. "I could sit and talk about this breakup with a friend, but that wouldn't be enough. I need to write, sing, make music, and then I can start to analyze and learn. Or just 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.
