Peaches presents sex-positive video for album title track ‘No Lube So Rude’

Pop provocateur and performance artist Peaches has previewed her new album ‘No Lube So Rude’ (her first record in over 10 years, no less) by sharing its eponymous latest single, alongside a politicised, powerful video that calls for resistance via sexual liberation. 

Directed by Matt Lambert and choreographed by Constanza Macras (who masterminded memorable scenes in Poor Things and The Favourite), the visualiser was produced in collaboration with indie erotic filmmaker Erika Lust, whose website also hosts the video’s explicit director’s cut - where, according to press materials, “the film lives in its fullest, uncensored form”. 

Explaining more about the concept behind ‘No Lube So Rude’, Peaches has asserted: “When the world is friction, lube isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity. It’s how you turn that friction into pleasure, into power, into pride. I want people to understand that they can still have a voice no matter who they are or what the world says about them.”  

Acknowledging that the rise of the far right has shackled freedom of expression across the world, Lambert has also noted that “a lot of us have been full of anger, paralyzed by it at times,” but that “this video is a brief antidote to the rage – harnessing the power of our sexual joy as a momentary collective breath – a deep inhale to power us into the abyss.”

Due to hit shelves on 20th February via Kill Rock Stars, ‘No Lube So Rude’ will be Peaches’ long-awaited follow up to 2015’s ‘Rub’, and promises 11 genre-spanning tracks on which the body is presented not just as a site of sexual pleasure, but also a battleground.
