Album Review: the 8th cumming by cumgirl8
Very Good, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 7/10
The chiming synths, electro-clash vibes, and high-pitched vocals of "Karma Police" - no, not that one - provoke and tease the boundaries of what music should be. As the album plays out, the group blend raw punk energy with an eclectic range of electronic experimentation, avant-garde noise, and sexual liberation. "ahhhh!hhhh! (i don't want to go)" oscillates between the retro analogue sounds of an 80s goth dancefloor, and horror movie soundtracks, as does "Mercy" with that chilly detached feeling running down your spine.
Opinion: Very Good
Words like 'authenticity' and 'relatability' might get bandied around all the time in modern music parlance, but for true honesty let us look no further than 'uti': the batshit centrepiece of cumgirl8's latest release. Amid repeated chants of "fml" and "ow" comes the sort of fidgety, uncomfortable ambience that will have listeners wincing in solidarity. Forget Taylor Swift, this is the painful sound of the real female experience.
