PEACHES – Disco Queer Icon Effervescences, Sonically And Lyrically, On 7th LP ‘NO LUBE SO RUDE’
20 February 2026
New album artwork
Artist: PEACHES
Who: The fabulous/controversial/notorious performer/producer and
feminist/gay activist born Merrill Nisker, 58 years ago in Toronto, Canada.
New album: NO LUBE SO RUDE
Her 7th one.
Press info: A brash, unapologetic blend of electronic, dance, punk, industrial, and pop music, No Lube So Rude exists at the intersection of the personal and the political, where the body serves not only as a sexual and spiritual vessel, but also as the front line in a battle for basic human rights.
Peaches’ lyrics are bawdy and explicit here, laced with biting sarcasm and clever
wordplay, but they’re also surprisingly vulnerable, offering up a candid look in the
mirror from a post-menopausal queer icon reckoning with a society that’s come
to expect silence, if not outright erasure.”
Peaches: “When the world is friction, lube isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity. It’s how you turn
that friction into pleasure, into power, into pride. I want people to understand that they can still have a voice no matter who they are or what the world says about them. Now more than ever, there are so many forces that just want you to give up and be quiet. If this album can help you resist that, then that’s what it’s for.”
DIY Magazine (UK) says: “Describing Peaches’ lyrical content as sex positive is, let’s face it, a bit like describing the sky as blue. On her seventh studio album, the Canadian musician spreads her brash and ultra-horny sentiment across another collection of vibrant, high-energy bangers.”
TUTV: I’ll let Peaches first do some talking:
“I’m a horny little fucker, and I’ll put you in a squeeze I’m a horny little fucker, and I’ll bring you to your knees / I’m a horny little fucker, and I’ll put you in a squeeze / I’m a horny little fucker, and I’ll bring you to your knees / I’m a horny little fucker, fucker, fucker, fucker, fucker, fucker.”
Now, rush to the dancefloor. Jump here, jump there, jump everywhere. Peaches is on
fire, producing queer disco rampage, delivered in a stream of bass-booming layers and peppered with sassy synths. Merril Misker is still highly nightclub relevant and one of the best party mavericks around.
