ELECTRIC BLUE VINYL

Arriving over a decade after 'Rub', Peaches' latest serves her raw, unguarded sexual antics over a selection of sufficiently sleazy, high-BPM productions from Berlin's The Squirt Deluxe. 

Best known for her breakout electroclash-adjacent hits like 'Fuck the Pain Away' and 'Boys Wanna Be Her', Peaches has proved far more resilient than many of her peers. You could say that's because she's always been ahead of her time and her politics has never felt so necessary; as mainstream feminism circles the drain, Peaches' gender-bending, sex positive words ring out like a rallying cry for anyone looking deeper than X and the post-neoliberal digital status quo. "I'm a horny little fucker and I'll put you in a squeeze," she deadpans on 'Fuck Your Face', rapping and chanting over The Squirt Deluxe's trap-cum-dubstep tweaks. Musically, 'No Lube So Rude' sounds alarmingly contemporary, swerving the obvious dungeon techno in favor of itchy, uptempo energy that lands between Fever Ray's comparatively earnest 'Radical Romantics' and SOPHIE's iconic run of 12"s. 

On the title track, Peaches slurs across overdriven electro that picks up pace until it's a rampaging tribal stomp and on the brilliant 'Panna Cotta Delight', the enduring Pac Man theme gets interpolated to garnish a juicy slice of post-HudMo R&B funk. "I never give a fuck," she assures us on 'Fuck How You Wanna Fuck', and that's her secret, no fucks given = superior attitude.
