Like a scantily clad Creature from the Black Lagoon, Manhattan four-piece cumgirl8 has emerged from their primordial goo, resurrecting today in striking full color. 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 their first EP on 4AD phantasea pharm (2023), the band is now on the cusp of their 8th cumming by way of their long-awaited debut LP of that name, out October 4th. A product of the experiences they’ve had across their many lives, their discography is a warped, fucked up ‘coat of many colors,’ with their forthcoming record being no different. “We want people to be afraid of what’s coming.” Described as a utopian, chaotic “Greta Thunberg fever dream,” cumgirl8’s newest album, 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. Historically flexing their political muscles via outspoken activism (including protesting SXSW 2024), innuendo-ridden lyrics, adventurous stage presentation aided by costumes created in-house by the band, and merch table Plan C (Medication Abortion) pills, this current version of the band has fundamentally taken things up a notch, unafraid to introduce listeners to complicated themes all while exploring their creative boundaries and looking inward.

As experimental and willing to poke fun of themselves as ever, cumgirl8’s multi-faceted nature is a key cornerstone of the 8th cumming. While, to some, cumgirl8 is no more than a group of one-dimensional sex-toys and trolls on the Net, this record proves that they are much more; specifically, that they are a badass, soundboard-wielding, and forward-thinking collective with an affinity for daring storytelling and musical mayhem

“It’s that energy of righteous rebellion that has made cumgirl8 one of the most exciting acts releasing music today. cumgirl8 is that rare act that melds the sweat of performance with the immediacy of a headphones-on experience.” - PAPER Magazine

• “[phantasea pharm] brings what they’ve done previously, and brilliantly, to new heights”- Alternative Press

• “...gothic pop and scuzzy dance-punk studded with horny prose.”- Pitchfork

• “four girls brewing up chaotic, subversive post-punk.” - NYLON

• “The track feels like it’s been marinated in post-punk attitude, electro-punk zaps, and the kind of industrial grime you’d proudly wear like a badge. The hook is the cherry on top of this wonderfully chaotic sundae.” - Post-Punk
