With their third album, X’s, Cigarettes After Sex finally takes center stage as not just one of today’s preeminent indie bands, but as one of the most globally accomplished acts across any genre. Bandleader Greg Gonzalez captures every emotion a romantic arc inspires. But where previous albums have drawn from an amalgam of relationships, for the most part, X’s centralizes on just one relationship that spanned four years. 

“The record feels brutal,” admits Gonzalez. “I could sit and talk about this loss to someone, but that wouldn’t scratch the surface. I have to really write about it, sing about it, have the music, and then I can start to analyze and learn from it. Or just relive it—in a good way. I don’t have that Eternal Sunshine-thing of wanting to forget.”

X's is filled with raw, imagistic, sometimes smutty vignettes set to entrancing, slowburn pop songs. It  features the singles "Tejano Blue", "Dark Vacay" and "Baby Blue Movie".

Exclusive CRYSTAL CLEAR vinyl produced by Caroline Records in 2024.
