Album Review: 8 Creamy Porn Stars Curvaceous Pencil Shavings by Creamy Porn Stars
Alright, let’s get into this wild ride of an album. 8 Creamy Porn Stars Curvaceous Pencil Shavings—yeah, that’s the name, don’t blame me for it—is one of those records that smacks you in the face with its weirdness and somehow keeps you hooked. Released back in 2004 under the label ZH27 (shoutout to them for taking chances), this U.S.-born electronic gem dives deep into abstract vibes. It’s not your typical chill-out playlist or dancefloor banger. Nope. This is more like… auditory chaos with a brain.
The title track, “8 Creamy Porn Stars Curvaceous Pencil Shavings,” is where the journey begins. Honestly? I wasn’t sure if I should laugh or take notes when I first heard it. The beat feels like someone spilled coffee on a synth and decided to roll with whatever happened next. But here’s the kicker—it works. There’s this glitchy rhythm layered over what sounds like distorted whispers, and just when you think it’s gonna settle down, BAM, another layer pops up out of nowhere. You can’t really hum it later, but damn, does it stick in your head.
Another standout has gotta be… well, okay, full disclosure, there aren’t specific track names listed other than the big one. So let’s talk about the vibe instead. One moment near the middle of the album—I’m guessing around the third or fourth track—hits hard because it flips from chaotic noise to this super smooth, almost meditative drone. Like, whoa, slow down buddy, give my ears a break! And then, just as you’re settling in, they throw in these sharp stabs of static. Feels like getting tickled after being lulled to sleep. Weirdly satisfying, though.
What makes this album memorable isn’t perfection—it’s personality. Creamy Porn Stars (again, their name, not mine) didn’t set out to make something polished or predictable. They went straight for the experimental jugular, and while it might not appeal to everyone, it’s refreshing as hell. In a world full of copycat beats and formulaic drops, this record reminds us that music doesn’t always need to fit neatly into boxes.
So yeah, would I recommend 8 Creamy Porn Stars Curvaceous Pencil Shavings? If you dig stuff that challenges your brain while making you go “huh?” at least five times during each listen, absolutely. Just don’t expect to play it at your next house party unless you wanna clear the room real quick.
Final thought: Listening to this album feels kinda like finding a weird piece of art in a thrift store. At first glance, it seems confusing and maybe even ugly, but the longer you stare, the cooler it gets. Or maybe I’ve been staring too long. Either way, respect to Creamy Porn Stars for keeping things interesting.
