Canadian singer Merrill Nisker, better known as Peaches, is known in the electronica genre for her sexually explicit material and provocative shows. With rather blunt songs on sex, gender roles, and more sex, her new album I Feel Cream echoes the same messages heard on such past releases as Fatherfucker, but with a more melodic sound.-

Since debuting with Teaches of Peaches in 2000, the electroclash queen has remained fairly consistent with her synth-punk sound. With I Feel Cream however, Peaches has released her most pop-sounding album without yet despite its electronic classification. The songs are catchier than ever, but still miles away from popcorn territory. Sounding like former roommate Feist, Peaches takes a different route on a few songs by singing in a soft, almost angelic voice - something fans have rarely heard.
