  • Summary: Fresh off the electroclash touring circuit (and apparently in need of a good shave), ever-vulgar Canadian Merrill Nisker (aka Peaches) follows her 2000 debut 'The Teaches of Peaches' with 12 new tracks, including a duet with Iggy Pop.

    Now grafting meaty guitars and ferocious singing onto her minimal electronic beats, she summons the very spirit of rock & roll. [26 Sep 2003, p.95]

    The album largely treads the same brazen minimal-electro territory; and most of the dick/tits/cunt-centric songs will be familiar for anyone who's seen Peaches' girlie-show shows in full-frontal effect over the past couple years.

    Peaches seems to intentionally drop the ball throughout Fatherfucker.

    The beats on Fatherfucker are not only frustratingly simplistic, but the energy and surprising rhythmic complexity of the vocals on her debut are noticeably absent, too.

    If you're looking for punk-electronica, this is it. More great Bikini Kill meets electronica meets rap. Not as crisp as "Teaches...", If you're looking for punk-electronica, this is it. More great Bikini Kill meets electronica meets rap. Not as crisp as "Teaches...", but it definitely still kicks. It has more of a basic rock flavor, more hip-hop, too.… Expand
