Research
02. Cigarettes After Sex — Twizzler
Cigarettes After Sex are led by Greg Gonzalez, formed in El Paso, Texas in 2008. Their sound is slow, ambient, and sensual — hushed vocals over reverb-drenched guitars. Their 2017 self-titled debut and 2019's Cry built a devoted following around a distinctly unhurried aesthetic. "Twizzler" was released May 19, 2026 via Partisan Records as a standalone single — described as arguably the most upbeat track they have ever made. It follows a Coachella cameo alongside Karol G. 2:54 at 86 BPM.
Placement: Second in the atmospheric open. The slight brightness relative to their usual sound makes it a breath between two heavier tracks rather than anchoring a mood.

A 2019 single, later on the album Cry (25 October 2019, Partisan). Greg Gonzalez wrote it after watching an endless sunset on a secluded beach in Latvia following a 2016 festival; what began as a feeling became an intimate song about romance — "lyrics like words you might whisper to someone." A dream-pop slow-down.
