Aug 28, 2019 By Christopher Roberts Cigarettes After Sex

Cigarettes After Sex have announced a new album, Cry, and shared its first single, “Heavenly.” Cry is due out October 25 via Partisan. Check out “Heavenly” below, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover art, as well as the single’s cover art. Also below are the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Cigarettes After Sex are a trio featuring frontman/guitarist Greg Gonzalez, as well as Jacob Tomsky (drums) and Randy Miller (bass). Cry is the follow-up to their self-titled debut album, released in 2017. The album was recorded in Mallorca, Spain, self-produced and engineered by Gonzalez, and mixed by Craig Silvey (Arcade Fire, Yeah Yeah Yeahs). A press release says Cry is influenced by the films of Éric Rohmer, the songs of Selena and Shania Twain, and “the burgeoning love of a new relationship.”

In a press release Gonzalez says recording in Mallorca very much influenced the album: “The sound of this record is completely tied to the location for me. Ultimately, I view this record as a film. It was shot in this stunning, exotic location, and it stitches all these different characters and scenes together, but in the end is really about romance, beauty, and sexuality. It’s a very personal telling of what those things mean to me.”

Gonzalez describes “Heavenly” as “inspired by the overwhelming beauty I felt watching an endless sunset on a secluded beach in Latvia one summer night.”
