Peaches returns with her first album in over a decade, No Lube So Rude (out 20 Feb 2026 on Kill Rock Stars), and the new single ‘Fuck Your Face’ is exactly the sort of blunt-force electro-punk statement you’d hope for from a queer feminist icon who’s never once asked permission. She still writing from the body outward: political, sexual, furious, funny, and entirely uninterested in being SFW.
The album promises plenty more where that came from, with a track list that reads like a catalogue of bodily autonomy in eleven parts. Recorded in Berlin with The Squirt Deluxe, the whole project sounds like Peaches taking stock of age, queerness, and the ongoing fight for basic human rights – and deciding to push the volume up instead of toning anything down.
There’s also a UK/EU tour on the way, including a stop at London’s O2 Kentish Town Forum on 20 April. Anyone who’s ever seen Peaches live will know those gigs function as communal catharsis as much as concerts.
