the 8th cumming

After cumming-of-age with their introductory self-titled EP (2020), experiencing their own end with their ‘RIPcumgirl8’ EP (2021), and witnessing a twisted vision of the afterlife through their first EP on 4AD, ‘phantasea pharm’ (2023), four-piece cumgirl8 are now experiencing their eighth cumming by way of their long-awaited debut LP of that name.

The album’s tracklist oscillates sonically between dark and light, travelling intergalactically between distorted, gothic industrialism akin to the retro horror soundtracks of John Carpenter, to Chris & Cosey or Suicide, reminiscent, suspenseful and sometimes romantic synthwave, and gritty postpunk experimentalism.

A handful of musical references the band turned to during their writing sessions include Miss Kittin, Delta 5, Lizzy Mercier Descloux, Throbbing Gristle, ESG, Desire, Ladytron, Deli Girls, Nine Inch Nails, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Peaches, Björk, etc

If you like their oeuvre, the Slits and Au Pairs, you'll love this too.
