Cigarettes After Sex have returned with a new double single that includes a cover of The Doors’ “The Crystal Ship” as the A-side and an original song entitled “Anna Karenina” on the flip side. The latter Tolstoy nod begins with a hazy guitar melody and a laidback drum groove that shimmers thanks to a tambourine accent. Band leader Greg Gonzalez employs his best Destroyer delivery, speak-singing about some secrets he’s never shared.

On October 30, Gonzalez will perform with The Doors at LA’s Greek Theatre during the band’s 60th anniversary bash. Check out “The Crystal Ship” and “Anna Karenina” below—both are out now via Partisan Records.
