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.
