Cigarettes After Sex - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

Impressing how he sounds live exactly like on the album

Listening to Cigarettes After Sex is like falling in love for the first time, or lookin into the eyes of your lover. I can relate to their songs and feel nostalgic about the emotions and vibes the songs give even though I may have never felt them, yet.

The magic of Cigarettes After Sex is their music makes you feel floating in the air that is full of memories but so peaceful

perfect for rainy days, long drives, night drives, walks on an empty-lit street, coffee, and literally, while having cigarettes after sex

0:23 K. 6:11 Sunsetz 17:45 Sweet 23:10 Apocalypse

They’re one of those bands that you get one taste of and immediately think “oh I get it” they nail that melancholic vibe so well

this band has my whole heart. this band gives me this undescribable feeling of love. I‘ve never loved a band as much as I love Cigarettes after Sex

i feel nostalgia for such sweet days i haven't even experienced yet.

Find them it's like fallin in love for the first time.

Not a wasted note. The melodies. The restraint. The perfect pitch. So sublime!

after listening to them for 5 years....i always thought the vocal is a female...but damn..his voice is absolutely stunning

K. makes me deeply sad, and I love it.

His voice is absolutely incridible. The most impressive male voice I ever have heard.

I’m totally obsessed with their songs 🥺 Especially Sweet and Apocalypse

This is the band that I can always make myself calm and relaxe while I am so under pressure without asking anyone to help me with that. I feel so lost and relaxed with them. They are absolutely amazing

Their music, idk it makes me wanna light some candles and have a boyfriend lmao

this is totally orgasmic, it's like falling in love for the first time..euphoric feeling that is totally indescribable, this is music inspired by Cupid itself..this is ART

Facing bullying, body shaming, depression and PTSD this takes me to another world where I can love anybody despite their gender, world where I can be any colour I want, no traumatic bullshit.. this is free therapy.

So very glad I discovered them by accident.

K. 0:24 Sunsetz 6:10 Sweet 17:38 Apocalypse 23:05

I was so in love with this absolutely intoxicating woman singing behind the name Cigarettes After Sex... then it turned out it was a guy all along! Still in love tho...

I just discovered them, I am obsessed.

I'll never forget this record. I listened to it while I climbed a small mountain by myself this summer - in the middle of the night. Funny how things happen when your experiencing heartbreak. I tried to have a spiritual experience by laying down half way up the mountain and looking at the sky under the midnight sun and I kinda did. Thanks C.A.S

Definition of contrast = when he speaks v/s when he sings

This band never fails to bring tears to my eyes absolutely beautiful

I think all of their fans should meet and build a different world!

This would forever be associated with this one girl who just decided to cut all communication with me. She once told me it's hard to share her favorite music to people you're dating since it leaves the possibility that it might turn sour and it ruins the band. She shared this band with me (but decided to leave me anyway) so I'm fucking taking this band with me.

I'll be honest, ive just been getting into CAS, and it brings me such strong emotion with every song that I hear that I cannot go a single song without crying. I'm so glad I found this band

Just a couple of friends creating ambient music with atmospheres of encountered feelings that makes you want to smoke until it’s done and drink until dawn. Great interpretation. Shout out to the drummer. That tempo thou.

apocalypse is my favorite, it’s just so soothing and dreamy, all of them are tho

YAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS, I WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS

The bass sounds so soft and light, but full. Incredible sounds!

I met this wonderful band through a series and went crazy ... I went after the soundtrack and took a tour of everything I could, singer, lyrics, instruments, band, finally this rare combination of voice, lyrics, melody and instruments paralyzed me. I needed something invigorating that would take me out of the physical and bring me inner harmony to the ancestor. It's a set of subjective emotions that explode when you hear a deep, sweet, subtle voice. Even Greg's singing is pure magic. Congratulations. I will take this finding to the Brazilian people

The thing I love the most about this entire interview is how she actually listened to the record and did her homework. This is so intimate and so completely and utterly brimming with an undying passion for music. It's beautiful. I wish more mainstream interviews were like this.

What an interesting guy. I like how he's open to explain his sound and art in detail. He talks very softly but very fast. Excellent music.

Love love love. Their music is so soothing. They’ve helped me get through some rough times.

incredible band ... pitty they are not as mainstream as they deserve ... great work guys for producing quality music

their music is so soothing to my ears. it makes me want to run around in a field of sunflowers whilst a boy i love chases after me, as we both feel young, wild, free and happy. but at the same time, i want to sit on a rooftop in paris whilst smoking cigarettes with my homies as we talk about the mysteries of this universe and why we’re always feeling so lonely and upset as we get older.

This makes me want to be alone in a dark room with red wine and a cigarette.

sharing this song with someone is like sharing your grandma's recipies. share it only with your loveliest ones. the top most secret song of the present times. Nostalgic, orgasmic, reminiscent, feelgood and all the adjectives which fall short to praise this band. Thank you so much for the kind of art you guys have created in this chaotic world. I would be lucky to attend one of your concerts. Please come to BENGALURU in INDIA i've been waiting for you guys.

Been a fan of this band for years now they never fail me to amaze me, seeing their live performances while laying in the bed making fake scenarios with my other one. This band is a hidden gem and I hope people will find this and I hope they make an album soon.

I didn't think the vocalist would look like this.. I thought he'd look like a white depressed skinny dude in his 20s XD

All their songs are so calm, I listen while sleeping best lullaby ever!!!

Listening to Cigs now in my late 40’s reminds me of when I was in my early 20’s listening to Slowdive with my first girlfriend ❤️

So glad one of my friends introduced me to this band. How can I am only came across them now! Crazily good and absolutely amazing, seem to able to make your mind wandering wildly yet calmly at the same time ( not sure if this making any sense). I hope for more new songs from them.

Its a shame that this type of music isn't appreciated by a wider audience, but fuck it. I Love This!

gezz. I always thought it was a female singer.

Thanks KEXP for this piece of art. Wonderful.

17:20 "music gives you good feelings that helps you cope with bad feelings" the exact reason im listening to this band

I wish my girlfriend loved this band. :( They're so amazing. When "Sweet" started and he held that microphone with eyes closed and started singing with his heart, I got chills all over and tears in my eyes. This band is fucking AMAZING!!!

This is pure, orgasmic, dreamy, emotional, mesmerizing. Man, this is just art!

i rolling my cigarettes, buy my coffee, i put on my earphones, open their songs, while sip my cigar.. what a feeling..

Thank you for the wonderful concert!

This is not a music for the mass, it’s designed for a specific audience Haters, out!

Didnt think they would be this amazing live

Ethereal, hypnotic, and intoxicating - Cigarettes After Sex make me reminisce in the nostalgia of moments that have never happened to me.

similar tune, same flavor but never makes me bored!! Is this what we call addiction???

Apocalypse is my favorite of theirs. I fell asleep listening to music and woke up sorta hearing it like it was part of a dream. It was my first time hearing anything like it, and it was a magistic moment to say the least..

Such an interesting voice. So soothing and smooth. This band is great for reflecting on your life after a long day.

Very Powerful voice and very addictive. It is really soothing specially if you are low ...may of the lyrics correlate to happenings in many peoples lives.. but he sings it so well ... makes you want to go back. I have been listening to him for a while and wanted to check if there are any live videos. I hope he they come out with more... they really stand out. Love them. Reo Speedwagon would be really grateful... he sung it beautifully !!

All songs are pure magic. Off the beaten track, definitely.

Went to their show last year in Toronto, loved the show but probably the only band i ever wanted to see while sitting down.

This band is like love and sex had a baby

The bands and sets on this station/show are second to none. The sound quality is fantastic (well done the engineers). KEXP 4EVA

his voice makes me feel so safe and comfortable and gives me nostalgia idk how to explain

"Music makes life worth living basically. It gives you these good feelings, and helps you cope with the bad feelings." I couldn't agree more.. Their music has helped me through the last two difficult years of my life. ❤❤

thick and sweet bass , great band , perfect name for them , content just like after sex ! loved this band for awhile , glad to see live ! thank you kexp again !

I remember being with this girl I liked after meeting her once and then messaging often with her for a year and then she invited me to meet her at hers in Spain. I was staying at her's and then we played Affection and the intensity of the romance captivated me. I was looking at her as she was looking outside the window as she was holding back the curtains and she smiled whilst looking at me from the corner of her eye. I then just grabbed her and kissed her and she then kissed me back intensely and it still is to this day one of the most intense and memorable moments of my life. Thanks for the music

Some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard! Bravo, Greg and Company! I love every note l hear from y'all.

This can be described with just one word, mesmerizing

Amazing and so emotional! The singer's voice without loud or nasal sounds is a proof of how singing can be full of emotion.

You know that it's a good band when you can close your eyes and get lost in the old memories and good times of the past, just with Cigarettes After Sex.

So glad i discovered them on Spotify. They're pretty amazing and unique. Absolutely the best music to chill with a great company. Cannons too.

So many moments in these songs where it's just purely drums, bass, and vox... yet it's never empty sounding. Wth. Unbelievably complimentary tones all around.

Absolutely amazing and so blissful :)

Such a great smooth sound. I appreciate the ability to maintain the dynamics they do in their songs... smooth and swells when needed to build the energy.

This album reminds me of my first break up back in 2017. It’s all I listened to back then, I don’t look back on it with pain now - it’s more a sense of gratefulness for the experiences. If any of you are going through this right now, it gets better - you gain a new perspective x

I love this thing. I love this feeling. It's sadness over happiness and viceversa. It's like having soft sex...

this has become one of my fav. band ever.....love this sweet music & can't say godbye.

Their sound just melts you. Melts the heart

Amazing live.

"Music can save peoples' lives...it saved mine." So true.

They're all dressed in Black from head to toe, Like gosh even his guitar is black, I love that. There's something beautifully mysterious about them 🖤🖤🖤

Thanx KEXP!

I totally adore this group!

Best 2017 album for me.

I'm so in love with this band!

They are so freaking good ugh, I can't explain the feeling when I hear them play.

amazing voice , sounds exactly like the songs on spotify

I've heard these dudes for forever! Straight from El Paso Texas baby! Wooo!!! Love you guys. Amazing músic. Don't lose your heart

Just discovered them today, this is amazing! Oh, the powerful force of great music 🙏

Perfect band. Their music is full of feelings, so dreaming and mesmerizing...♡

This band I can listen forever, never enough... Very unique music...

When I first heard these guys, I thought of living w my first love in our first house together, slow dancing w all the candles lit up, and it's a nice breezy summer evening.. I come on RU-vid to find mostly everyone has a nostalgic feel when listening to them 😍 KIND OF MUSIC IM FUCKING SEARCHING FOR

His voice is just ❤

His voice is a wonder. Like silk. Their music is steamy. I love it. It’s such a pleasurable experience listening to them.

Amazing! Probably my favourite band at the moment.

Timeless masterpiece. This album is pure genius

Los sonidos tan relajantes hacen que me sienta libre, con un positivismo increíble. Amo a Cigarrettes🤍
