In “Dark Vacay” he’s taking pills, “sipping Château Lafite Rothschild” and listening “to the last message that you left/Then the voice from the suicide hotline.” He’s calm, even a little self-satisfied, as he invites someone to “Feel it all around you/Crash and fall.”" - New York Times, Jon Pareles “With X’s, Gonzalez presents his most polished songwriting to date, turning in some of his DIY tendencies for lush production and an emphasis on cohesion.” - UPROXX "X’s is an album that encapsulates this bittersweetness. Despite what critics might say about one-dimensionality, Cigarettes After Sex offer us soft-spoken consistency in a tumultuous world. In their tender dream-pop, grief and desire stroll side by side on the shore of memory." - The Line of Best Fit “X’s fuses Cigarettes After Sex's dream pop strengths with ‘90s pop warmth and ‘70s dance floor glow. Always one to bring listeners into the moment, Gonzalez imbues the record with a lyrical specificity that gives the taste of pink lemonade and the tension of a deteriorating relationship equal weight. On X’s, the listener can feel the immediate joy and lingering pain in equal measure.” - Grammy.com "That Cigarettes After Sex trade in sensuous, shoegazey indie-pop – they’re a mainstay on bedroom playlists – means you wouldn’t necessarily think of them as a stadium band. Yet the numbers don’t lie. A bona fide streaming phenomenon, they achieve the same kind of eye-watering numbers on Spotify as the likes of Taylor Swift and Drake… Those fans will be pleased to know that Cigarettes’ latest album, X’s, is their best yet.” - Independent Earlier this month, Cigarettes After Sex shared their highly anticipated LP, X's, to much acclaim. Release week kicked off with a stunning performance by the band on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! outdoor stage. Not only did X’s debut at #32 on the US Billboard chart and #12 on the UK chart, but the band landed their first top 10 with Top Album Sales, coming in at #6. Cigarettes After Sex was featured both digitally and in print in the NY Times, graced the FLOOD digital cover, and received a glowing feature in GQ. X’s is also sitting at #2 on the Current Alternative Albums chart. With 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, whose often unconventional path to superstardom has helped reshape the very definition of success for artists in the modern era. Since the release of “Tejano Blue,” with the announcement of X’s and the corresponding global arena tour, Cigarettes After Sex have racked up over 72M plays on all singles from this record so far. They are currently the #231 most-streamed artist in the world on the platform, with over 25M monthly listeners. The tour – which includes venues like Madison Square Garden, The Forum, the o2 Arena and more – is off to a tremendous start with sellouts in London, Warsaw, Sydney, Athens, Brussels, Lyon, Cape Town, Paris, Amsterdam and Singapore. In the states, dates in San Diego, Orlando, Oakland, New York City and both nights in LA have sold out. Over 500k tickets have been sold worldwide thus far and demand saw them adding extra shows in LA, London, Athens, Warsaw, Cape Town, Melbourne, and Sydney. The news spread quickly, with write ups in Stereogum, Consequence, Brooklyn Vegan, Pollstar, the NY Post and more. All of this activity comes amid a flurry of growth on social media, with the band eclipsing the 4M follower mark on Instagram, and hitting half a Million on TikTok with only three posts on the platform. Not content to let new music have all the shine, the band’s self-titled record just enjoyed a new chart peak on the Billboard 200 in its 50th week on the chart.  You can see the band live on their world tour starting this Fall. Tickets are on sale now.
