DESCRIPTION

Cigarettes After Sex return with a double single that showcases both their future and their past. The single featured on the B-side, 'Anna Karenina' is a quintessential Cigs track, sensual, slow-burning, and emotionally oversized, with lyrics so confessional they verge on too much. But its inclusion of spoken word verses adds a striking new dimension to Greg Gonzalez's world, expanding the band's intimate palette. Its chorus ('I cried at the end of Anna Karenina, when she threw herself under the train') might be the most Cigarettes After Sex lyric ever written. The A-side is a long-rumoured fan favourite finally seeing release: a gorgeously faithful cover of The Doors' 'The Crystal Ship', recast in the band's signature haze. Jim Morrison's romantic fatalism never sounded more at home.
