Cigarettes After Sex have shared a taste of their upcoming second album ‘Cry’ (out October 25th via Partisan Records), in the shape of single Heavenly.

Frontman/guitarist Greg Gonzalez describes the song as “inspired by the overwhelming beauty I felt watching an endless sunset on a secluded beach in Latvia one summer night…”

Work on ‘Cry’ commenced the week their debut album was released with Gonzalez, Jacob Tomsky (drums) & Randy Miller (bass) decamping to a mansion in Mallorca to record.

“The sound of this record is completely tied to the location for me,” Gonzalez explains. “Ultimately, I view this record as a film. It was shot in this stunning, exotic location, and it stitches all these different characters and scenes together, but in the end is really about romance, beauty & sexuality. It’s a very personal telling of what those things mean to me.”

However, it took Gonzalez two years to finish the lyrics for the record which was mixed by Craig Silvey (Arcade Fire, Yeah Yeah Yeahs).
