Peaches
I Feel Cream (XL)

Peaches teams up with a few producers for her fifth album, including electro-house heavyweights Soulwax, Simian Mobile Disco and Digitalism. As you might guess from that list, the punk rock side of her persona has been tempered somewhat, but have no fear – she’s as dirty, fierce and raw as before, at least on a lyrical level.

We’re going to assume the title is a reference to Donna Summer’s dance-floor monster I Feel Love, since Peaches is clearly exploring her disco queen side. Hell, she’s even singing here and there, and this is easily the most danceable record she’s produced. Surprisingly, the weakest tracks are those that sound most like the electro-rap we’ve come to expect from her; fortunately, they’re in the minority this time out.

Top track: Talk To Me 

Peaches hits the Phoenix May 20.
