Studio album debut by Peaches [aka Merrill Beth Nisker] but her second studio album, as she released Fancypants Hoodlum in 1995 as Merrill Nisker. I haven't come by her actual debut, which I have seen enlisted in the genre of post-punk, and this is far from that. Peaches is a Canadian performance artist mainly associated with electronic genres as electroclash, electro-disco with elements of glam rock. I also find an evident use of industrial in her first two albums as Peaches. She currently lives in Berlin, and knowing that it may seem easier to associate her with Nina Hagen. Like the German "art punker", Peaches make use of shock and provocation as means in her musical shape, and she also refers to and speak much about sex - both as subject, as well as part of her language. This is not bad. it really has great beats and tracks but some of the songs seem like fillers. Anyway, the overall rating may not do justice to the originality of this.
