On September 25, 2015 Peaches will release ‘Rub,’ her first album of new material in 6 years on I U She Music via INgrooves. The album is her most adventurous, audacious musical statement yet. It continues on the bold, sexually progressive path she forged 15 years ago that’s opened the door for countless others to follow. ‘Rub’ was recorded over the course of 2014 in Peaches Los Angeles garage studio collaborating with her longtime friend Vice Cooler.
“After six years, I was excited about my lyrics again, about what Peaches was,” she explains. “I felt more comfortable living out any idea I wanted to try. We spent ten hours a day making beats, and whatever stuck, I would write on and develop. The only agenda was to make the best album we could.”
Oozing with seductive rhythms and bedroom-rattling bass, the record opens with the semi-spoken hook of “Close Up,” delivered with an inimitable and impenetrable cool by Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon in just one take. Peaches’ old collaborator Feist also returns on album closer “I Mean Something,” singing a hypnotic hook and lending a chillingly beautifully wordless melody. The album also has two breakup songs, the dark and disturbing “Free Drink Ticket” and the insanely catchy pop song “Dumb Fuck,” which find Peaches addressing issues far more personal than political.
Peaches will once again direct and curate videos for each song on the album. Watch Peaches self-directed video for the gorgeous, throbbing “Light In Places” which was written for and stars UK performance artist/aerialist Empress Stah below..
