On Peaches' last album, the intermittently tired- and inspired-sounding Fatherfucker, she sounded almost weary of singing about sex -- a pretty dangerous place for her to be, considering that it's her main source of inspiration. Fortunately, though, Impeach My Bush shakes that not-so-fresh feeling. Even though the album's sound sticks to the glam, punk, and electro foundations of her music, and the lyrics stick to the territory she knows best, Impeach My Bush is the sassiest and most engaged Merrill Nisker has sounded since The Teaches of Peaches. This is also most eclectic-sounding set of songs yet. Co-producers Mickey Petralia, who also made Ladytron's Witching Hour a fascinating (and totally different) sounding album, and Greg Kurstin, who has also sculpted beats for Gwen Stefani and Lily Allen, give Impeach My Bush a bigger, slicker sound than Peaches' previous work, but that helps her cover musical territory that ranges from the heavy-breathing glam/disco fusion of "Boys Wanna Be Her" to "Downtown," a breathy, almost coy confection that glides along on synth strings and sounds sexy as well as sexual -- a Peaches first. Of course, the album also has plenty of room for several different flavors of electro, be it buzzy ("Get It"), sleek ("Tent in Your Pants"), or just plain filthy ("Slippery Dick"). And while Impeach My Bush doesn't rock as hard as Fatherfucker, it rocks smarter: "You Love It" plays like a sexed-up, gender-swapped update of "He Hit Me (And It Felt Like a Kiss)" and is taken to the next level by Joan Jett's vocals and guitars, while "Give 'Er" boasts handclaps that could be face-slaps and backing vocals that sound like taunting battle cries. Even though Impeach My Bush's stylishly hyperactive sound is the most immediately enticing thing about the album, Peaches' inimitable lyrics make themselves known soon enough, particularly on "Rock the Shocker," where she admonishes a guy to "stop relying on your dick" and on "Two Guys for Every Girl" (which includes backing vocals by the Gossip's Beth Ditto), which name-checks Heidi Fleiss. Spilling over with dominatrix anthems in the making, Impeach My Bush shows that despite the album's not-so-thinly-veiled jab at the Commander in Chief -- and the sequined burkha Nisker wears on its cover -- Peaches is still a force to be reckoned with in the arena of sexual politics. Even if it's not as traffic-stopping as her debut, this album suggests that she can keep her music interesting for the long haul.
Without Peaches , this site probably wouldn't exist in the current genre heavy vibe you've come to know and love. Self-made and self-pleasuring, the queen of electropop/rock has spent the latter part of 2008 on a variety of club dates, dj sets and park tours. But 2009 promises to be big for Peaches, as her new album, titled I Feel Cream will finally see a release date. (although none has b...

Peaches! Whutta dame. Of course her music is, for the most part, annoying and uninspired. But she knows how to put on a show, and so! Whenever you get a chance to see her live, you should take it.Like this weekend, for example. Tomorrow it is Peaches & The Herms (her backing band, which occasionally features Joan Jett) showing off the new sound (and that's less electro, more rap-rock to you). P...

Peaches highly anticipated new album was just released in the US. I have only heard one new track via crappy iTunes, but anyone else heard the entire album yet? Thoughts? You gotta love an album that makes you feel incredibly guilty while listening to it at work since the lyrics bring your face to a shade of red never thought possible and causes you to squirm uncomfortably in your seat when...

Peaches' new album kicks ass. And really, with a title like Impeach My Bush, how could it NOT kick ass? But seriously, the beats are awesome, it's hilariously raunchy, and I can't stop listening to it. I think it's better than Fatherfucker. If you're a Peaches fan (or a Gravy Train fan), definitely check it out. I'm also excited because since I preordered it I got a free Peaches poster and an I...

If your idea of a sexy singer is a white bread, lump of plastic wind-up doll like Britney Spears, you may not get aroused by 39 year old Canadian performance artist Peaches. I first came in contact with her a few years ago when I was doing a fund-raising auction for People For The American Way. Madonna gave us a signed platinum record award. Neil Young signed a guitar for us. Green Day gave us ...

You know that sinking feeling you've get when you realized that you've lost something that you really like? Well,I'm getting that now because I'm slowly but surely realizing all the music that I lost when my Cousin's computer crashed! I lost my Placebo, Arch Enemy, Stemm...just OMG I'M GOONA DIE. I mean I could go out and buy the albums but hey, I have no money after bills and birthdays, and fo...
