CIGARETTES AFTER SEX - X'S

An ambient pop and shoegaze album, X's sees Gonzalez exploring "slow-dance pop ballads" of the 1970s and 1980s, while the lyrics deal with romance and intimacy. Writing "Tejano Blue", its second track, it was inspired by Gonzalez's life in his hometown, El Paso, Texas, as well as Selena's "Como la Flor" and Cocteau Twins and "somehow" tried combining the sound of both artists.
