Smoke & Fiction is a 2024 studio album by American punk rock band X, announced as their final release. The band also promoted this release with a farewell tour entitled The End Is Near, slated to last into 2025.
Reception
Peter Larsen of Los Angeles Daily News called this release "a terrific record... with the band sounding as strong and inspired as ever, its 10 songs harking back lyrically to the band’s early history, its sound closely following suit". Discussing lead single "Big Black X" at Stereogum, Tom Breihan stated that it "flashes back to the freewheeling, rockabilly-infused punk rock of their early records" and that "Exene Cervenka’s voice sounds as intense and titanic as ever".
