I Feel Cream
Peaches
PEACHES has always trafficked in subversion, and on her fourth full-length ‘I Feel Cream’, she subverts the preconceived notions of who ‘Peaches’ is, and what she does. PEACHES is a phenomena; she is the self-made, self-produced, do-it-yourself leader of the electro punk movement. “I Feel Cream” features vocal performances like you’ve never heard from her before. Peaches still teaches with her own unique flows, but now she also sings with a cool sophistication. The sound is headed someplace else too, as she eschews the use of guitars and instead unleashes the icy elegance of new romantic synth-pop, mechanized handclaps, dark, throbbing synthesizers and killer electro beats, evoking that blissful era in the early 80s when disco mutated returned underground. To help her realise the myriad ideas of the new album, Peaches enlisted assistance from some of her most celebrated peers: SOULWAX, SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO, DRUMS OF DEATH, DIGITALISM, SHAPEMOD, SHUNDA K (from YO! MAJESTY) and GONZALES.
Review
Katherine Dretzke, Readings Hawthorn
Peaches was always going to have a hard job ahead of her creating something that would be worthy of her fans’ ears, given that she has been producing electro-clash anthems for over a decade now.
However, turning 40 has not changed our lady of obscene; if anything, it has given her even more ammunition to work with. Crude, naughty lyrics are screeched, whispered and sung over thumping drums, vicious keys and heavy electro-beats. Her raw trademark sound doesn’t tire, which was the one problem Peaches could have had. I Feel Cream is exactly what us Peaches fans needed, and with age seemingly only making her better, Peaches is one lady who will be on the dance floor well into her years.
