Cigarettes After Sex released a surprise new single last night. 'You're All I Want' is a welcome addition to the monochrome Cigs After Sex discography: a film noir song that follows a formula we've come to love.

An androgynous voice, a silk bedspread of a rhythm section and a sparkling dash of electric guitar: with Cigarettes After Sex, you always know what you're going to get. On their new single, they don't make a dramatic departure.

'You're All I Want' takes us right back into this band's dreamspace: an erotic love song that curls like blue smoke in the soft sky of twilight.

Hear it:

Recorded during the sessions for last year's sophomore album Cry, 'You're All I Want' follows on from the magical landscape of the LP it didn't make - recorded at night in a mansion on Mallorca.

"The initial takes of the song were finished in the courtyard of the house we were staying at in Mallorca, late in the evening, right as a thunderstorm was rushing in over us" Greg Gonzalez revealed. 

Back in November, we went to see Cigarettes After Sex live. Read our review of Cry.
