Arch Enemy - Deceivers [Light Blue Vinyl] (New Vinyl LP)
To celebrate the 5th anniversary of its release we are pressing a limited edition of this stunning debut album on crystal clear vinyl. The music of Cigarettes After Sex invokes not only the powerful feelings of euphoria inherent in the band’s name itself, but somehow manages to recreate emotions found in the most romantic of movies; immersive, achingly nostalgic, thoroughly transporting, and intensely visual. It’s these powerful and unique qualities which have enabled the love songs of Cigarettes After Sex to reverberate across countless countries, and excite the most devoted kind of following.
After the phenomenal online break-out success of “Nothing’s Gonna Hurt You Baby” the singer, guitarist, and creator of Cigarettes After Sex, Greg Gonzalez, wanted to project his worldview onto a bigger screen, a broader canvas. Yet Gonzalez rejected conventional studio routes for his band, which includes Randy Miller on bass and Jacob Tomsky on drums. They recorded their self-titled debut album during a remarkably short, three-day stint at a modest pay-by-the-hour rehearsal space in Brooklyn. It’s this bottled intensity, and perfect cohesion between musical landscape and lyrics, which keeps listeners, falling in and out of love themselves, thoroughly enraptured, returning to the music again and again; the love songs of Cigarettes After Sex the indelible soundtrack.
