The music of Cigarettes After Sex invokes not only the powerful feelings of euphoria inherent in the band's name itself, but somehow manages to recreate emotions found only in the most romantic of movies; immersive, achingly nostalgic, thoroughly transporting, and intensely visual.

It's these powerful and unique qualities which have enabled the love songs of Cigarettes After Sex to reverberate across countless countries, and excite the most devoted kind of following.

The band's catalog has sold over 2.5 million records to date, amassing 1.8 billion Spotify streams, over 8.5 million monthly listeners, and 585 million+ YouTube streams.

The band's list of on-the-record fans include everyone from Taylor Swift, Kylie Jenner, David Lynch, Lana Del Rey, Françoise Hardy, Lily Allen, Busy Philipps, and more. They've been featured in Vice Noisey, V Magazine, Interview, NPR's Tiny Desk, and their music has appeared in The Handmaid's Tale, Killing Eve, and Ralph Lauren ads.
Fan reviews:

OMG it was so good! I loved it so much, they performed amazingly!

Absolutely loved it, so nice and once in a lifetime experience.

They sounded exactly the same as they do in their songs overall 10/10 experience just wished the played more songs.

Amazing! Absolutely best band ever! One of the most amazing shows I’ve ever been too! The band is the kindest group of people ever!

Wonderful evening with an amazing music. I'm a big fan of the band from years, but never had a chance to visit their performance at the stage. I'm so happy that finally I did it. It was a wonderful evening with an amazing music!

Beautiful melodic trip. I love going to a show when the band sounds better than on the album. They came out and sang hit after hit. The crowd was so enthralled, singing along with every word. Loved this show.

I love this concert! I’ve never been to an actual concert before this one and it was a best first experience! Love Cigarettes After Sex and cannot wait to keep listening to their new songs.
