"我总是有意识地避开录音室，" Cigarettes After Sex的主唱Greg Gonzalez说道："在世上某个开敞的角落完成录制总会给专辑带来别样的感受。录制地点的特质或氛围就像是某种未知因素，它会成为专辑情感表达中至关重要的一环。
声音和环境的巧妙结合的确塑成了Cigarettes After Sex 第二张全新专辑《Cry》的灵魂。录制于西班牙马略卡岛上一座令人艳羡的宅邸，《Cry》用极简的笔触描绘出曼妙的线条与柔媚的光线，让人在这般声音图景中感到难以言喻的美丽、情迷意乱的渴望。受到岛上鲜活色彩和新鲜环境的感染，Gonzalez常常在与鼓手Jacob Tomsky、贝斯手Randy Miller和键盘手Phillip Tubbs录音前几分钟才写好歌曲。他亲自操刀录音及制作工作，将重心聚焦于捕捉现场表演的氛围，并从录音环境和乐队成员间的交流中获取灵感，探索录音素材的可能。
收录九首歌曲的《Cry》虽然精练，但仍有着难以掩盖的深度。五零年代末、六零年代初流行乐的浪漫氛围只是专辑中容易察觉的要素，Gonzalez此番的尝试还远不止如此；回溯自己童年在德克萨斯州埃尔帕索度过的时光，他从九十年代特哈诺（Tejano）音乐天后Selena和主流乡村歌手Shania Twain等经典音乐人身上汲取到诸多灵感。除了旋律上的花费的心思，Gonzalez在歌词创作上也不遗余力地进行着革新。他毫无畏惧与窘迫，以类似Henry Miller或Leonard Cohen的直白方式坦诚勾画时常露骨的爱欲交缠场面。Gonzalez创作时好比一个电影人，他用细腻、有着电影质感的方式捕捉不易察觉的时刻，并设法从平凡中提炼深刻的意义。

Relaxing first track and the invitations of a stable love affair lead into the awkward phase of a Napoleon Dynamite-esque prom dance with perfectly retro lights and a soundtrack that would make any man fall in love with Deb.
As I'm a Firefighter dissipates Dreaming of You takes forefront and what was a synchronized dance grows into a close step-on-shoes and head-on-shoulders spin. There's now a spotlight set on the main characters as they gaze into the eyes of a silhouette.
The EP concludes as the characters exit the gym and find their way up the ladder to the water tower where they sit--like Cloude and Tifa--gazing at the possibilities waiting ahead, and between, them.
The closest thing to a kiss is a brush of hands, but in pixel love affairs that was all they ever dreamt and the sky fades away to reveal it is simply the pupils of a pair of Starry Eyes.
