cumgirl8 have announced their new album 8th cumming will drop on October 4th via 4AD. The record is the follow up to their 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). Today, The band have  have additionally shared the record’s first single, “Karma Police,” paired with an accompanying visualizer. With the track, the band deliver not a Radiohead cover, but a chaotic tour story of missed flights and stolen luggage delivered with a hailstorm of angular glittering keys, propulsive swirling riffs, and darkwave night club whispers akin to Gina X, Essential Logic, & Delta 5.

The band will be touring behind the album, with North American, European, and UK tour dates, kicking off this October and continuing through the end of the year with stops across the States, Canada, France, Italy, Germany, The Netherlands, and more, as well as appearances at Iceland Airwaves and Desert Daze.

Described as a utopian, chaotic “Greta Thunberg fever dream,” the 8th cumming (recorded live, entirely on analog) 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 (representative of an inevitable “post-reality” consisting of our deteriorating natural ecosystem and the dissolution of consciousness at the helm of artificial intelligence).

The album is full of musical references the band turned to during their writing sessions, including Miss Kittin, Delta 5, Lizzy Mercier Descloux, Throbbing Gristle, ESG, Desire, Ladytron, Deli Girls, Nine Inch Nails, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Peaches, Björk, LustsickPuppy, Nite Fleit, White Town (specifically “Your Woman”).
