Editorial Reviews

Review

"The electrified shock-rock queen bursts out the guns with which she's most familiar: hilariously hyper-sexual lyrics, catchy lo-fi, and straight-up balls-out punk rock" --Next Magazine

"Not content to simply follow the electro crowd, our hot pants wearing hero often rocks like 1,000 Blackhearts" --Harp

Product Description

With her pioneering electro-punk sound that has taken hold amongst a new breed of female stars, Peaches now seems as relevant to the musical landscape as ever before. On "I Feel Cream" she does it again, this time producing, along with the likes of Simian Mobile Disco, Soulwax, Digitalism, and Drums Of Death, her most pop-sounding album to date. The beats remain as harsh and uncompromising as ever, but with a new found melodic groove that has only been previously hinted at.

Fuzzy Wuzzy's Summary:
***** Highly recommended with warm fuzzies!

Three years, and one presidential election, after Peaches, aka Merrill Nisker, released her last Impeach My Bush, with its clever double entendre mixing body parts and political office, the queen of electroraunch is back for more creamy-tongue-in-cheek songs about sex, accompanied by buzzy fuzzbox sounds and her trademark in-your-face lyrics combined with kick-you-in-the-nuts percussion.

Compared to her previous albums, both the production and singing are becoming more polished and refined. The production on this album is shared by a host of electronic masters. This is not necessarily better or worse since I love the rawness of her previous releases like "Diddle My Skittle" on Teaches of Peaches (Bonus CD), and the simpler arrangements of songs like "Operate" on her "Fatherf-cker" album.

The "Talk To Me" song is my least favorite track. To my ears, it sounds too much like unpeachy mainstream pop. After "Talk To Me" comes the mushy sentimental "Lose You" sung with a soprano lilt. After having heard Peaches sing on the first track "Serpentine": "some call me trash, some call me nasty, call me crass, but you can't match me", it seems weird to hear her emotionally wounded voice singing "I don't want to lose you" two songs later. The title track, "I Feel Cream", has a 1980s Euro-disco feel to it, and every so often when I listen to this song, her vocals give me flashbacks to Donna Summer singing "I Feel Love". But in case you think Peaches is getting too soft now that she is 40, rest assured, Peaches returns back to her fine unrelenting form for the rest of the tracks.

But there is a definite fire and ice feel to this album compared to the flamethrower effect of her previous releases. Instead of her previous reliance on rapping, teasing, yelling, and cooing, there is actually singing of some songs now. Personally, I think that some of her singing makes a few songs too everyday mainstream, but I welcome the added variety. The jackhammers and barbed wire are now adorned with silk and satin.

Drums of Death, who helped with the production work, is currently on tour with Peaches. There is also a Drums of Death "Peaches Mixtape" 35-minute MP3 that you can listen to and download (see the 'Comment' section).

This is the closest thing to a commercial release by this brilliant artist to date - hardcore fans should not be put of by this comment however - she still delivers as only she can. The beats are great, lyrics are raunchy-funny, and vocals are better than ever. Good album to kick off summer.

If you like Peaches, you need this CD. By the second listen, I was hooked. The lyrics are still clever and raunchy, and the music rocks. There are even a couple of slower, calmer songs on this CD. Most of the songs are great for dancing. FYI--she's INCREDIBLE in concert!
