Peaches turns friction into joy on ‘No Lube So Rude’

Cultural trailblazer, pop provocateur, and eternal rule-breaker Peaches is back—louder, sharper, and more fearless than ever. This past Friday, she released ‘No Lube So Rude,’ her first full-length album in over a decade, and it lands exactly where you’d expect Peaches to thrive: at the chaotic crossroads of pleasure, politics, vulnerability, and provocation.

The album arrives alongside the gloriously unhinged new video for Hanging Titties, a surreal fever dream set in a Las Vegas nursing home. Peaches stars as a bizarre caretaker opposite RuPaul’s Drag Race icon Jimbo, who also co-directed the clip with Brad Hammer. It’s funny, unsettling, campy, and totally unfiltered—classic Peaches energy turned up to eleven.

Musically, ‘No Lube So Rude’ is a brash cocktail of electronic, punk, industrial, dance, and pop—explicit, sarcastic, and razor-smart, but also surprisingly tender. Peaches leans fully into her perspective as a post-menopausal queer icon, confronting a culture that too often demands silence or erasure. The body here isn’t just a site of pleasure; it’s a frontline for autonomy, identity, and basic human rights. This also marks her first release on the legendary indie label Kill Rock Stars, a fitting home for an album that refuses to play nice.

The record features previously released standouts like the title track—paired with a video collaboration with feminist erotic filmmaker Erika Lust—and Not In Your Mouth None of Your Business, a pounding punk-dance rally cry for bodily autonomy that Stereogum called an energizing chant. There’s also Fuck Your Face, a sweat-soaked pleasure anthem that Vice praised for balancing the poetic and the perverted on a knife’s edge, plus remixes from Boys Noize and Only Fire. Recorded in Berlin with producer The Squirt Deluxe, the album transforms modern frustration into something euphoric, defiant, and deeply human.

Peaches is also taking ‘No Lube So Rude’ on the road, launching a massive North American tour tonight in Miami before heading across the continent and over to the EU/UK this spring. The run features support from Model/Actriz, Cortisa Star, and Pixel Grip, and she’s partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 from every North American ticket supports the Trans Justice Funding Project, helping fund trans-led grassroots organizations across the U.S. and its territories.

As if that wasn’t enough, Peaches has also teamed up with Medicine Mama for a ‘No Lube So Rude’ special-edition Intimate Glide personal lubricant, available online and on tour. It’s a collaboration rooted in empowerment, education, and unapologetic body literacy—perfectly aligned with the album’s core mission.

‘No Lube So Rude’ isn’t just a comeback—it’s a reminder. Peaches is still here, still fearless, still turning friction into joy, and still daring us all to feel a little more, say a little more, and give absolutely zero apologies while doing it.
