Cigarettes After Sex frontman Greg Gonzalez had a clear vision for his band’s gorgeously cinematic debut album. The best tracks here are 'Apocalypse' { even though it cornily rhymes "lips" with its title,} and the moody, hypnotic 'Each Time You Fall In Love'. A good album to play at bedtime, for sleep or love, but also for moments of reflection and to facilitate a soothing atmosphere.

Right from the song K to young and dumb every track a work of art, every guitar chord an awesome moment.The exception is ‘Each Time You Fall in Love’, which was recorded in the Beekman’s stairway after hours, the ghosts of screen lovers channelled in every warm note. Sunsetz' and the gently lilting 'Sweet', meanwhile, showcase Gonzalez's ability to weave impressionistic snapshots of romance into melodies that haunt like memories of past loves, all coalescing around his melting vocals.

Shades of Lord Huron and a wealth of gloomy shoegazers can be felt, but even though "Cry" represents a next step for Cigarettes After Sex - edging into more minimalistic territories - it's still immediately identifiable as this band, and so won't fail to instantly resonate with avid fans.

After the phenomenal online break-out success of "Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby", from the band's debut EP 1, the Brooklyn transplant (originally from El Paso) wanted to project his worldview on to a bigger screen, a broader canvas. Alongside keyboardist Phillip Tubbs, bassist Randy Miller and drummer Jacob Tomsky, the ability of Gonzalez and his band to set a scene and sustain a mood reels you in deeply.

The record features a number of rather out-datedly objectified women who add sensual sounds but if you can get past that there is some fine candour and shadowy textures on this noir-pop long player.Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse. But it's all good stuff really, its soothing sameness likely to provide a comfort blanket in THOSE moments rather than becoming a bore chore like say the second XX album.

To mirror their woozy romanticism in music, Gonzalez rejected conventional studio routes for his band, which numbers Randy Miller on bass, Jacob Tomsky on drums and Phillip Tubbs on keyboards. The thing I like the most is that this sounds like chill out, love music but listen a little closer.

The warmth and depth of each track just seems to flow over you and for late night chilling music this is a hard one to beat.

They play a cinematic and mesmerising style of ambient dream-pop that retains a semi-dark tone, this music feels like a hazy-noir daydream.Swooning in the spirit of influences such as Mazzy Star and Red House Painters, its sumptuous songs of love elevate Cigarettes to the ranks of those acts who create worlds of their own, exciting the most devoted kind of following.
