You can expect a new CAS (Cigarettes After Sex) album in the coming weeks! I almost saw them last year but they ended up selling out which I absolutely did not expect to happen. I guess I underestimated the appeal of moody aesthetic music. Maybe everyone got hooked when they took over YouTube for that one year (2018? 2019?)
They'll be doing an ARENA tour (!!!!!!) this year - hitting Phoenix on October 8th (maybe won't sell out? Doubtful) - also Lana doing is an arena tour?! What is this year even? I feel like 2024 is the bleaker sequel to 2012 no one asked for. (Just kidding I liked 2012! I moved to Phoenix! Big year in my life. 2011 and 2013 can kick rocks though.)
Anyway here's the song, which is distinctly CAS, but it also reminds me a lot of the Xx in places. It really hits all the notes that they are known for, but I like how Greg Gonzalez's voice is almost softer here? It feels more developed and melodious, or it just might be a case of clearer production. Gonzalez has spoken to the storytelling in this song being purposefully cryptic, which IMO makes the song a little more appealing. CAS has raised eyebrows (and honestly, rightfully so) for some of their lyrical content so it's nice that this song leaves some more to the imagination. As a listener, I love when I have the chance to worldbuild with music and am not forced to a certain narrative. Daydreaming remains my #1 hobby.
The new album "X's" complete with other singles like "Tejano Blue" and "Dark Vacay" drops July 12th, and the arena tour which includes them playing MADISON SQUARE GARDEN (?1?) arrives later this year.
