August 25 street date. New York City four-piece cumgirl8 (aka cg8) release their debut 4AD EP, "phantasea pharm". Made up of Lida Fox (bass), Veronika Vilim (guitar), Chase Lombardo (drums), and Avishag Rodrigues (guitar), their 6 track EP was born out of an obsession with Ella Fitzgerald's ‘Old McDonald’ ahead of a show in Charlottesville, Virginia. "We went on stage that night and told everyone we were a "Fantasy Farm". They knew then that would become the basis of their new EP. cumgirl8 render the immersive and chaotic energy from cyberspace into our world, coming together to make a boundary-less sound that brilliantly stretches across the likes of ESG, Cocteau Twins, Suicide, CSS, B-52s, The Shangri-Las, Chris and Cosey, Madonna, and many more.
October 4 street date. Like a scantily clad Creature from the Black Lagoon, Manhattan four-piece cumgirl8 has emerged from their primordial goo, resurrecting in striking full colour with their long awaited debut LP. After coming-of-age with an 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), cumgirl8 now present "the 8th cumming". The album's track list sonically oscillates 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 synth-wave, and gritty post-punk experimentalism. Described as a utopian, chaotic "Greta Thunberg fever dream", "the 8th cumming" was recorded live, and entirely on analogue.
