Crippling Alcoholism is set to release their third album, Camgirl, on September 12, following their earlier works from 2022 and 2024. The album, featuring the single "Pliers" with Juliet Gordon, showcases their signature blend of dark melodies and abrasive noise. The narrative follows the character "Bella Pink," exploring themes of lust, power, and exploitation through the eyes of those around her. This effort is noted as both the band’s most accessible and disturbing release to date.
What implications do you think the themes of exploitation and power dynamics in Camgirl have for contemporary discussions about online performers and digital culture?
