Tusks announces second album with brooding lead track "Peachy Keen"

"Peachy Keen" arrives with an important message just after International Women's Day last week. (Emily Underhill, aka Tusks, expands, "Peachy Keen started as a sarcastic response to the MP Christopher Chope when he blocked the recent up-skirting bill in parliament, but it quickly evolved into a song documenting the inherent sexism and patriarchy, which I and so many other people experience on a daily basis."

Explaining the song in more detail, Underhill says, "The first verse is kind of a rhetorical question to men who are stuck in this patriarchal male privilege where deep down I really don't think they can be happy, because it comes from a state of insecurity. The second verse is replying to these implicit rules and assumptions placed on women in our current society - there being different rules for men and women, with the idea that women are just there to facilitate men’s needs."

Avalanche takes inspiration from Underhill's trip to Iceland, and is Tusks second album, following on from 2017's Dissolve.
