CIGARETTES AFTER SEX - Cry LP Hardcore and trombonist Mike St180g DELUXE VINYL. Clocking in at nine songs, Cry is a compact collection but its brevity belies its depth. While the bands sound may be most associated with the romantic pop music of the late 50s and early 60s, Greg Gonzalez pushes into more unexpected sonic territory on Cry, reaching back to his childhood in El Paso, Texas, to draw subtle melodic influence from 90s Tejano stars like Selena and mainstream pop country artists like Shania Twain.
