San Diego, California is not renowned for the cutting edge of its music scene. Yet synth pop artist Erleen Nada has come up with one of the most outlandish and original records of the year with her debut single, 'Peachy Keen’.
'Peachy Keen' should perhaps be called 'Peachy Fucking Keen', as such is its chorus. For all its lavish swearing, and there is this and a lot more on 'Peachy Keen', it is also hilarious. Dumped by her boyfriend, and then in rapid succession fired also from both her band for not being a vegan and finally her job, Nada retaliates by deciding to strike out of her own and to focus instead on her songwriting, which she hopes will make her the centre of attention. Nada’s tongue-in-cheek and ultimately bittersweet spoken word vocals merge with siren-like synths on this uncompromising track, which with dark humour ironically captures the need of all of us to try to find acceptance and love one way or the other.
Its B side, 'Cowbell Song', is both more brooding and conventional, a techno number in which Nada's chanted vocals are put up against a thundering drum machine and hazy, slowly whirring synths. ‘Cowbell Song’ both proves a contrast and reveals another side to Nada's distinctive personality.
'Peachy Keen' is being released in a limited edition of 200 copies on the German vinyl only label Destination Pop, and for both its inventiveness and sheer bullishness deserves to sell out quickly.
