Cigarettes After Sex have shared new single “Baby Blue Movie.” The track is off the band’s forthcoming album, X’s, which drops on July 12th 2024 via Partisan Records (PJ Harvey). The track follows previous single “Tejano Blue.”

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. Scintillating whispers of love, sensuality, and mystery leave the listener to draw their own conclusions about what the song means to them.
