Gonzalez's androgynous voice, the incredibly slow and drawn-out bars, the flowing movement of the pieces, the eternally long arcs of tension, the withdrawn guitar, which with its isolated accents sounds like an echo from a distance, the delayed bass lines create the fascinating effect I pretty much forgot everything while listening.

CIGARETTES AFTER SEX
The delicate touch of melancholy that surrounds this band's music gives it its charm. The sounds of Cigarettes After Sex trigger strong feelings and euphoria found only in the most romantic films: captivating, achingly nostalgic and visually intense. These powerful and unique qualities have made Cigarettes After Sex's love songs known in numerous countries and excited a loyal fan base.
The characteristic features are also present in their latest track "Pistol": dreamy ambient sounds, slow and extended bars, flowing movements, long arcs of tension, an evenly flowing bass line, the delicate guitar arpeggios that sound like an echo from the distance, and of course the smoky, androgynous voice of mastermind Greg Gonzalez. The delay effect in the pieces is reminiscent of the reverberations of a stairwell at the University of Texas, where Gonzalez began recording his songs in 2008. This special sound quality has made the Chillwave project distinctive.
Cigarettes After Sex has now sold over 2.5 million records, reached 3 billion Spotify streams, more than 17 million monthly listeners and over 800 million YouTube streams.
