Last month, Cigarettes After Sex announced their new LP, titled the O2 Arena in London, with more Korean artists. Dates for India, Singapore, UAE, Taiwan and South America will be announced later.
Today they share the second cut from their next album, titled “Dark Vacay”. Filled with raw, imaginative and sometimes bawdy vignettes set to mesmerizing slow-burning pop songs, bandleader Greg Gonzalez captures every emotion that inspires a romantic arc. The song combines hedonistic memories of European tours (running around Prague, dizzy and drunk) with his more recent experiences unraveling up close on the road with an ex-love. He goes on to explain, “This song is about a romance I had a few years ago. We toured together and were lucky enough to go to all these wonderful places, and at first we had a lot of fun. However, as the tour continued, everything started to fall apart and we ended up breaking up in the end. I kept wishing that somehow we could see all the beauty around us before it was too late…”
