New York four–piece cumgirl8 share the new single ‘cursed angel,’ the third offering from their forthcoming EP phantasea pharm, out August 18th via 4AD. ‘cursed angel’ is a whimsical dance with insanity, with repeating hook, “I feel like I’m losing my mind.”
Speaking on the song, cumgirl8 says: “‘cursed angel’ is about feeling like you’re slipping out of reality; it’s uncontrollable and sometimes you can’t contain it. if you don’t fight it, the outcome can be positive.”
‘cursed angel‘ follows the hypnotic and erotic ‘gothgirl1,’ co–written with Nick Launay (Kate Bush, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Slits), and the energetic ‘cicciolina,‘ a tribute to the Hungarian–Italian pornstar turned politician of the same name.
phantasea pharm was born out of an obsession with Ella Fitzgerald’s “Old McDonald” ahead of a show in
Charlottesville, Virginia. The band decided to pay homage. Vilim dressed up in a cow leotard with pig
accessories, Lombardo in a g–string and apron that read “The Grillfather,” Rodrigues became a lawn mower, and Fox took on the role of a sexy rooster. “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.
