    Cigarettes After Sex released the second single “Dark Vacay” of their anticipated upcoming album “X’s”. The song dives into the topic of looking back to beautiful memories from a perspective where they already fell apart. The nostalgia of wishing you appreciated the beauty while it lasted is captured in the moody soundscape, tranquil guitars and hushed vocals.

We went on tour together & were lucky enough to go to all these wonderful places, mostly having fun at first. As the tour continued though, everything started falling apart & we…
