The indie-pop crooners’ Cigarettes After Sex have been dropping mega-hits and topping festival headlines for years, gracing the tote bags of fans who resonate with their music. Their newest drop, “Baby Blue Movie,” asserts that they have not lost their flair for the dramatic or their willingness to dig deeper emotionally.

Instrumentally, this track is almost shoe-gaze, with distorted ambient guitar guiding the way. Rhythmic melodies enchant your ears, forcing you to take in every word being sung. And thank goodness, because lyrically, this is some profound work.

The assertion that people should have fulfillment in the world they’ve built for themselves is often overlooked in modern media. Cigarettes After Sex encourages their audience, and likely themselves, to appreciate real love versus an idealized iteration of what they might see in a “Baby Blue Movie.”

This chilled-out indie bop isn’t sleepy; its catchy chorus allows listeners to retain the lyrical message while still getting lost in the haunting melody.
