Greg Gonzalez & gang recently dropped their self-titled debut full-length, Cigarettes After Sex, and it's a gorgeous body of work that explores the most delicate and melancholic arcs of ambient pop. Almost 5 years before the 10-tracker, however, CAS released I.. It is this 4-track EP that would define the group's refined, understated aesthetic, and "Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby," "I'm A Firefighter," "Dreaming of You," and "Starry Eyes" offer an elevated listening experience full calm, sensual moments. Recommended.
