X’s Vinyl is by Cigarettes After Sex. Now available from Vinyl Records Manchester on sale in stock and in a brand new condition priced at only £22 + delivery. With Xs, Cigarettes After Sex finally takes center stage as not just one of todays 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.Filled with raw, imagistic, sometimes smutty vignettes set to entrancing, slowburn pop songs, 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, Xs 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 wouldnt 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 itin a good way. I dont have that Eternal Sunshinething of wanting to forget.While continuing to observe classic pop song structures, Gonzalez has moved away from the prior sonic touchstones of the 50s and 60s, finding himself now drawn to a 70s80s slow dance. While in typical Cigarettes style these changes may be subtle, the overall resulting energy is akin to disco ballrefracted tears on the dance floor.X039s pressed on 140g black vinyl, housed in a printed, diecut inner sleeve.
