Cigarettes After Sex unveils new single, "Baby Blue Movie"
Cigarettes After Sex have shared the brand new single, "Baby Blue Movie", which is the latest to be taken from their forthcoming third studio album, X's.
Bandleader Greg Gonzalez commented on the track, saying, "A "blue movie" is a term for a porn movie & so “baby blue movie” is a reference to softcore porn. I heard the title years ago & it felt really striking to me. The story of the song is intentionally meant to be more cryptic storytelling wise than the lyrics I usually write. I like the idea of leaving the listener to decide what this one could be about…"
The title, a reference to softcore adult films, is in direct contrast with the dreamy and romantic soundscape. While the lyrics reference sex and smutty desires, the feel of the music is more akin to a companion's embrace.
X's will be released on 12 July via Partisan Records. To pre-order, visit cigarettesaftersex.com.
