Standalone single ‘quite like love’ by Manhattan four-piece cumgirl8 arrives following of a string of recent US headline shows and support dates with L7 and Bratmobile. cumgirl8 further proves their infectious nature with this new track, a throbbing, late night overture to twisted romance. With an unsettling, industrial air, here, the band touch close to Cabaret Voltaire in the style of “gothic pop and scuzzy dance-punk studded with horny prose” [Pitchfork].
cumgirl8 – ‘quite like love’
Earlier this year, cumgirl8 shared another standalone track entitled ‘glasshour.’ Its release showcased all that’s exciting and unique about cumgirl8 via jarring electro-punk flourishes, industrial sludge, and an irrepressible hook tying it all together. Both new stand-alone singles serve as a preview for the group’s upcoming debut record (due later this year), a follow-up to last year’s EP release, phantasea pharm (their debut with 4AD).

About cumgirl8
cumgirl8 met in a sex chat 8000 years ago in another metaverse. Made up of Lida Fox (bass), Veronika Vilim (guitar), Chase Lombardo (drums) and Avishag Rodrigues (guitar), the band 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 & Cosey, Madonna, and many more. Last year, cumgirl8 shared their debut 4AD EP phantasea pharm, recorded, mixed, and mastered entirely from analog tape. The six-track EP followed stand-alone single ‘dumb bitch’ (2022) and their two other EPs, cumgirl8 (2020) and RIPcumgirl8 (2021).
As much as the music itself, cumgirl8’s incendiary live performances are brilliantly chaotic and emblematic of the spirit of New York performance art. Last year, the band played a sold-out show at New York’s newest venue Knitting Factory at Baker Falls (formerly The Pyramid Club), a stint supporting Le Tigre on a sold-out Canadian run, a headline EU/UK tour, and a festival run that included spots at Primavera, The Great Escape, Greenman, Core Festival, Loose Ends, and Pitchfork Paris just to name a few.
