"After wrapping up three years touring her 2015 LP Rub, the iconoclastic electro-pop artist born Merrill Nisker busied herself creating two immersive performance art installations and playing the lead in Stuttgart State Opera's production of Brecht's The Seven Deadly Sins. Plus, there was the small matter of overseeing not one but two career-spanning documentaries and playing a string of belated 20th anniversary shows for her seminal, taboo-busting second album, The Teaches Of Peaches."
"Eschewing the brash, lo-fi feel of her early work, it finds the 59-year-old utilising polished yet suitably transgressive electro-punk as a means to assert control in the midst of chaos. Advocating for bodily autonomy, freedom of expression, trans rights and an end to white supremacy, armed little more than jack-hammer beats and some eye-watering sexual sloganeering, these are protest anthems you can fuck to, should you so wish."
Peaches spent the last decade engaged in varied creative work alongside music. She completed three years touring her 2015 LP Rub, created two immersive performance art installations, and played the lead in Stuttgart State Opera's production of Brecht's The Seven Deadly Sins. She oversaw two career-spanning documentaries and performed belated 20th-anniversary shows for The Teaches Of Peaches. She returned with her seventh album No Lube So Rude, recorded with producer-cum-spiritual entity The Squirt Deluxe Deluxe. The record shifts from lo-fi roots to polished transgressive electro-punk and foregrounds bodily autonomy, freedom of expression, trans rights, and opposition to white supremacy.
