Rough Trade Exclusive grey vinyl with fold-out poster and poster print of Don’t Let Me Go single artwork. Signed.

The second album from post-coital-bliss rockers, Cigarettes After Sex, is an overbrimming romance of ambience and melody from start to finish. Greg Gonzalez's atmospheric manipulation is sedative and addictive. An aurally ingested Valium. But this is more than mood music. The lyrics reveal love letters to people throughout the many stages of a relationship. From desire to separation (and of course the sex in-between). For fans of Mazzy Star, Mojave 3 and sex.

This collaborative project showcases his versatility as an artist and highlights his ability to seamlessly blend different genres.

Floating Points’ first album in four years, Crush, twists whatever you think you know about him on its head again. A tempestuous blast of electronic experimentalism with some of Shepherd’s heaviest, most propulsive tracks yet, nodding to the UK bass scene he emerged from in the late 2000s, such as the dystopian low-end bounce of previously shared striking lead single LesAlpx but also some of his most expressive songs with his signature melancholia. It’s the sound of the many sides of Floating Points finally fusing together: the carefree selector, the considered composer and the passionate label curator.
