Kill Rock Stars
Producers: Peaches, The Squirt Deluxe
After a decade-long hiatus, the high priestess of electroclash is back with the full-frontal No Lube So Rude. Peaches, born Merrill Nisker, hasn’t mellowed; she’s sharpened her jagged synths into weaponized, feral vulnerability. “When the world is friction, lube isn’t a luxury,” she says. “It’s a necessity. It’s how you turn that friction into pleasure, into power, into pride.” This is a boss-woman producing head-banging tracks that transform feminine rage into pure, profane empowerment. She couldn’t give less of a fuck about being polite, dragging you through her dark humor with provocativity and leaving you sweaty.
