After coming-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 phantasea pharm (2023), cumgirl8 are now on the cusp of their 8th cumming by way of their long-awaited debut LP of that name, out now.
Following the previous release of the record’s first tongue-in-cheek single ‘Karma Police’ and ‘ahhhh!hhhh! (i don’t wanna go)’ – the band additionally shines light on a final single and focus track ‘something new’, on which they “let it all out with a sigh” via a nostalgic and tender coming-of-age musicality. Closing out a record of intense highs and lows, this track shares a beat of reprieve and reflection, expressing an understanding that in order to move forward as individuals and humans collectively, it is vital to start anew for the sake of our continued existence.
the 8th cumming is rooted in a philosophy close to the band’s heart: cyberfeminism, which addresses the relationship between human and machine, nature and technology. Within this context, the record aims to examine our relationships with the online and physical world from an apocalyptic vantage point, even down to its artwork in which the band adorns slime-covered futuristic garments in a muted, murky landscape.
Colliding with its varied musical landscape, the 8th cumming additionally sits firmly between hyper-realistic and fantastical in terms of its themes, calling back to the record’s interplay of cyberfeminist societal critiques and the foursome’s lived experience.
Introducing their new project, the band writes: Welcome to the digital apocalypse. reality is deleted! As the earth-born simulation of consciousness approaches its inevitable post-reality, we cumgirl8, upon our 8th cumming to this planet earth, present our alien kin with a sonic cum-piss to navigate the imaginary boundary between science fiction and social reality. The simulation is the hyperreality. As your hosts, we have cum to conduct serious play with the virus of humanity; to lead you through the swamp of e-waste, the degenesis of technology, and the overflow of the rebellious AI meme-plex. We are all cyborgs, released from the originas sacred slime. Guided by the phallic mother and the planet VNS we give you a world without end.
