Living in the Stadthalle – Cigarettes After Sex: Born for Autumn

a certain basic distance
On the large stage, devoid of any effects, sit three slender people dressed in fashionable, practical black. No volleys, no spark spraying or other slapstick tricks. The group, which does not allow photographers to take color photographs for the first few issues, dresses up a curtain-like cube of light that conveys a certain basic distance. Frontman Gonzalez is now going gray with dignity and has left his hair open since the last meet. With his leather jacket, sunglasses and electric guitar, he looks more like a Norwegian garage rocker than a mystical storyteller with a deep love of intense sonic worlds. The songs on his album “X’s”, which was released in the summer and describes very clearly and in depth what Gonzalez went through in his failed four-year relationship, are apparently so close to him that he treats them quite sparingly.
