Electroclash holdover's latest both points to new directions and recalls the strengths displayed on debut LP The Teaches of Peaches. Peaches is the sort of artist who is so defined by the fully formed, distinct aesthetic of her debut album that her subsequent releases cannot help but seem like sequels in a film series. As such, her last two records were clear cases of diminishing returns-- Fatherfucker seemed lazy and rushed; Impeach My Bush was better, but inconsistent in its inspiration.
Both albums expanded upon the gleefully pervy, button-pushing persona established on The Teaches of Peaches , but broke little ground in their own right, and mostly presented a more extreme and gratingly puerile variation on her brand of sexually confrontational performance art. This was unfortunate, as the raw power of songs like "Fuck the Pain Away" and "Lovertits" came just as much from their bawdiness as their well-crafted tunefulness and expression of complicated, conflicted emotions.
As she drifted toward intellectualized vulgarity, she lost touch with the wounded humanity that made The Teaches of Peaches so engaging. I Feel Cream finds Peaches reversing that trend, and reconnecting with the muse that produced her early classics.

The debut single from 5 Seconds of Summer a. Not that I hated them, it was ambivalence.
