Cigarettes After Sex have shared another preview of their upcoming new album 'Xs'.
The Texas band, who had already shared news of the record earlier this year with lead single “Tejano Blue,” delivered “Dark Vacay,” a track inspired by their (sometimes hedonistic) adventures on a European tour. . “This song is about a romance I had a few years ago,” said the band's Greg Gonzalez. “We went on tour together and were lucky enough to go to all these amazing places, and it was mostly fun at first. But as the tour continued, everything started to fall apart and eventually the tour ended. We ended up breaking up. I wish I could somehow see all the beauty around me before it's too late…”
The track will be released from their upcoming third album, which will be released on July 12th via Partisan Records. To support the record's release, the band will embark on an extensive world tour, including two shows at London's The O2 after the first show sold out.
