“Cigarettes After Sex” is just about as perfect as a name can be for a band that sounds as lush, dreamy, and sensual as this one. For the last few years, Cigarettes After Sex has been my late night/early morning soundtrack more times than I can count.
The band is about to embark on a month-long concert and festival tour through Europe and the Middle East. Before they go, they’re livestreaming a concert from Los Angeles.
Tonight. Thursday, 26 May 2022.
Details are at the bottom of this posting.
The Song That Started It All
“Nothing’s Gonna Hurt You Baby”, from the band’s self-released EP, was posted on YouTube, where it took off. You may remember hearing it at the end of the first episode of “The Handmaid’s Tale”.
Here’s a Small, Randomly-Chosen Sample of Their Music
I hear echoes of Mazzy Star, Cowboy Junkies, and other 20th-century dream pop groups in this band.
