Peeping Tom

Finally back in print after over a decade, the one and only Peeping Tom album. The album is one of Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle)’s most sought after albums. The guests on the album are an amazing array of musicians, including Norah Jones, Massive Attack, Kool Keith and more.

In keeping with the landmark 1960 psychological horror film that inspired its name, Peeping Tom had its genesis as a modus operandi devoid of physical intimacy. Patton would write songs with a wishlist of theoretical collaborators in mind, then hope for a reply in the form of a finished track. “It’s an exotic way of working for someone accustomed to a band environment,” Patton says. “It was charming, really. None of the usual Animal House stuff. Instead of swapping spit and underwear, we were swapping files.”
