Cigarettes After Sex is an American dream pop band formed in El Paso, Texas, in 2008 by Greg Gonzalez. The group was formed almost by accident when Gonzalez was experimenting with capturing the spacious sound of recording songs in a four-story stairwell at The University of Texas where he was a student. These dreamy sounds would inspire Gonzalez to make up the first Cigarettes After Sex EP, I., which was released in 2012.
After relocating to Brooklyn, Gonzalez continued work on the band, enlisting the help of a loose cast of collaborators including Phillip Tubbs, Randy Miller, Jacob Tomsky, Steve Herrada, Emily Davis, and Greg Leeah. The band created singles, EPs, and popular YouTube clips.
The band is known for their dream-like musical style, lyrics often based on the themes of romance and love, as well as Gonzalez’s voice. Gonzalez writes all of his songs based on people he knows and their stories. Of course Gonzalez’s love stories are a huge source of inspiration for him when he is writing songs.
