CUMGIRL8 SHARE “GLASSHOUR” SINGLE ON 4AD
UPCOMING SHOWS AT SXSW + SUPPORTING BRATMOBILE IN NYC
Kicking off 2024 with a bang, Manhattan four-piece cumgirl8 have returned with a brand new single entitled “glasshour,” premiered in advance via BBC6 Music’s New Music Fix.
The track β a reinterpretation of theirΒ past single,Β “hourglass” βΒ is a haze of spiky post-punk,Β showcasingΒ all thatβs exciting and unique about cumgirl8 viaΒ jarring electro-punk flourishes, industrial sludge, and an irrepressible hook tyingΒ it all together. A live highlight of their incendiary underground shows, the single also previews the group’sΒ upcoming debut record (due later this year) and marks their long-awaited returnΒ following last year’sΒ phantasea pharmΒ EP.
Speaking on “glasshour,” the band writes: ββglasshourβ is a reinterpretation of βhourglass,β one of the first songs we ever wrote and released. Thematically, it feels more relevant than ever; as weβre all ready to flip the glass and watch the sands run thin in this necrocapitalist power structure. The cowbell tolls like a doomsday alarm while we talk about justice.Β It felt right to slow the whole song down and punctuate that desire.βΒ
In addition to their newest release, cumgirl8 recently shared a live session for Onassis’ ‘Stages Alive’ series β it is available to view in full HERE. This live session serves as the perfect precursor to the band’s upcoming stint at SXSW, followed by a one-off gig opening for the inimitableΒ Bratmobile in Brooklyn this AprilΒ and a headliner at Brooklyn Made in May.
