Cigarettes After Sex is an American dream pop band formed in El Paso, Texas, in 2008 by Greg Gonzalez. The band is known for their ethereal, limerent and often dream-like musical style, lyrics often based on the themes of romance and love, as well as Gonzalez's voice, which has been described as "androgynous". While marketed as an ambient pop band, Cigarettes After Sex are also considered to be shoegaze, slowcore and indie rock.

"Once I started writing naturally about relationships in the most honest way that I could, I found my identity, it became what I wanted to do."
The Texan ambient pop group will make their first trip Down Under in early 2018.
