“Bubblegum” and “Stop Waiting” are the latest pair of singles from Cigarettes After Sex, and their first new music of 2023. The double single was released digitally on July 18th. Syrupy, sensual, subterranean dream-pop is set against vocals from bandleader Greg Gonzalez that walk the subtle line between croon and whisper. The songs are a perfect distillation of the starry-eyed atmosphere that the band has claimed as their signature in the six years since the release of their globally successful self-titled debut. Behind billions of streams, over 17M monthly listeners on Spotify, and hundreds of thousands in physical sales Cigarettes After Sex continue to defy what it means to be one of the biggest cult bands in the world.
