So is the message so simple as to be ‘Make porn, not war’? Peaches’ obsession with the nether regions continues unabated on Impeach My Bush, an album that despite its title is more about immediate pop moments than political statements.

Where predecessor Fatherfucker was for the most part uninspired and tired, Impeach My Bush is immediate and strong from the get-go. At its best on the guitar-infused rock of “Boys Wanna Be Her”, merging a disco funk feel given by mixer Mickey Petralia (Ladytron) and producer Greg Kurstin (Lily Allen) to something that’s more female empowerment than genitalia-derived.

The Gossip’s mega-voiced Beth Ditto appears on “Two Guys (For Every Girl)”, belting up a storm, while “You Love It” brings Joan Jett (sampled on Fatherfucker’s “I Don’t Give a…”) on board, and Josh Homme and Peaches trade lead guitar licks on “Give ‘er”. Elsewhere the sleek synth-pop of “Downtown” finds her delivering a sultry and sexy vocal combined with a deadpan Ladytron-like chorus. It’s the most delicious slice of sexy funk Peaches has ever come up with.

Clunkers like “Slippery Dick” don’t work anything like as well, and closer “Stick It to the Pimp” is similarly a weak moment. Nevertheless, the big difference between Impeach My Bush and the preceding Peaches album is that when she sounds inspired here the songs benefit immeasurably.
