Peaches - I Feel Cream - Album Review

Kurupt once said that you can’t make a ho a housewife, but Peaches is giving it a jolly good go. I Feel Cream opens with something of a red herring; sure, Serpentine is business as usual in one sense (“hair and a mullet/you know you gotta love it/so sexual/and so conceptual”), but the overtly self-referential tone signposts a direction more shocking than any of her filthmongering; Peaches gets plaintive. Completely devoid of irony, the Soulwax-produced Talk To Me finds our lady in sincere mood, and Lose You is more Debbie than Dirty Harry with its forlorn cooing. It’s left to Shunda K of Yo Majesty to gee up the smut-o-meter with her breathless rap on Billionaire. The garage rock chintz of previous material is conspicuously absent here; this is very much electro without any of the clash.
