"Peaches is, as she sings in her new song 'Panna Cotta Delight,' 'a woman in control of all her holes,' and mistress of a creative life where nothing appears outside of the realm of possibility. She's collaborated or toured with Yoko Ono, Marilyn Manson and Iggy Pop, among more underground artists across genres and countries and languages."
"In 11 songs on 'No Lube So Rude,' her seventh full-length album since 1995's 'Fancypants Hoodlum,' Peaches sings, vociferously, what most people are fearful to express out loud. Topics include (lots of) dirty sex, pointed political rants and pithy observations - she coins SpaceX's satellites 'Starlink anal beads' in one song."
"The Canadian-born, two-time L.A. dweller and longtime resident of Berlin will turn 60 this year. She owns it. In song, she name-checks abortion pill mifepristone and rhymes 'Roe versus Wade' with 'pleather and suede' in 'F- How You Wanna F-,' a song that begins: 'F- Kavanaugh, I'm a cougar.'"
Peaches is a Canadian musician and performer known for her provocative electroclash music and boundary-pushing stage presence. At 60 years old, she continues creating work that addresses taboo topics including sexuality, politics, and social commentary. Her seventh album, 'No Lube So Rude,' contains 11 songs featuring explicit language and controversial subject matter, from detailed sexual content to political critiques. She has collaborated with notable artists including Yoko Ono, Marilyn Manson, and Iggy Pop, while maintaining her distinctive ugly-beautiful DIY aesthetic. Based in Berlin for many years after growing up in Toronto, Peaches evolved from acoustic folk performances to electric guitar-driven electroclash, establishing herself as an unapologetic artist unafraid to vocalize what others fear expressing publicly.
