The Teaches of Peaches

"She plays almost all the instruments for her songs, programs her own electronic beats, and produces her records. Peaches’ music is preoccupied with gender identity. Her lyrics and live shows self-consciously blur the distinction between male and female. She refutes accusations of ‘penis envy’, preferring the term ‘hermaphrodite envy’, since “there is so much male and female in us all”. Nevertheless, she does not shy away from identifying herself as a sexual being, although she rejects the sanitised portrayal of women in popular music."
