Cigarettes After Sex is een Amerikaanse dreampopband die in 2008 werd opgericht door Greg Gonzalez in El Paso, Texas. De band valt op door hun dromerige, etherische muzikale stijl en de karakteristieke stem van Gonzalez, die vaak als "androgyn" wordt omschreven. Hun teksten richten zich vaak op thema's zoals liefde en romantiek. Zo beschrijft het nummer Each Time You Fall in Love de herhaling van verliefd worden en de onzekerheden die daarbij komen kijken. Hoewel ze vaak worden bestempeld als een ambient popband, worden ze ook in verband gebracht met genres als shoegaze, slowcore en indie rock.
