Peeping Tom — s/t (May 30, 2006) {Ipecac}
★Ξ★ Hard drivin' groove, heavy, blues laden riffs, epic psychadelia and quality brown tone.
★Ξ★ Peeping Tom is a band led by Mike Patton. To date, they have released one eponymous album and two singles on Ipecac Recordings. The band has featured a wide variety of well–known artists such as Massive Attack, Norah Jones and Kool Keith.
★Ξ★ Peeping Tom has been called Mike Patton's most mainstream accessible work since his days with Faith No More.
★Ξ★ “I don't listen to the radio, but if I did, this is what I'd want it to sound like. This is my version of pop music. In a way, this is an exercise for me: taking all these things I've learned over the years and putting them into a pop format. I've worked with many people who have said to me, 'oh you have a pop record in you, eventually you'll find it,' and I always laughed at them. I guess I owe them an apology.” — Mike Patton

Description:
★Ξ★ Peeping Tom is the first and only album by Peeping Tom, better known as vocalist Mike Patton. The "group" features a number of special guests, including Dale Crover, Dan The Automator, Kid Koala, and vocal collaborations with different singers and rappers.
Editorial Reviews
★Ξ★ Lack of face–to–face interaction did not keep long–distance collaborators from turning in exceptional performances: Norah Jones' lascivious "Sucker," Kool Keith's "Getaway" and Massive Attack's "Kill The DJ" are intense and passionate as anything a live band environment could have produced. Peeping Tom also includes contributions from Amon Tobin, Bebel Gilberto, Dub Trio, Kid Koala and several of Patton's Bay Area running buddies, such as Dan "the Automator" Nakamura (who tag teams with Rahzel on "Mojo"), Jel, Odd Nosdam and Doseone of anticon records. The end result is an utterly unique multigenre/ multi–artist departure from Patton's more recent noisy output–one that would ultimately have to be classified as a pop recordú a Mike Patton pop record, but a pop record nonetheless.
Biography
★Ξ★ Years in the making, PEEPING TOM, noise rock renaissance man Mike Patton's most accessible work since his days in Faith No More, is finally a reality. The 11–track opus, featuring a lengthy and incongruous cast of guest performers, is set for a May 30 release on Patton's own Ipecac Recordings label.
★Ξ★ 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."

"Plenty of people on the record are still complete strangers to me," he says.
★Ξ★ The initial PEEPING TOM offering also includes contributions from Amon Tobin, Bebel Gilberto, DubTrio, Kid Koala, Dale Crover, Rahzel and several of Patton's Bay Area running buddies, such as Dan "the Automator" Nakamura, and Jel, Odd Nosdam and Dose One of hip hop collective anticon.

I've worked with many people who have said to me, 'oh you have a pop record in you, eventually you'll find it,' and I always laughed at them. I guess I owe them an apology."
★Ξ★ The first single from the self titled record will be “Mojo”. It is accompanied by a music video featuring appearances by Danny Devito, Mark Hoppus (blink 182), Rachel Hunter as well as song collaborators Dan the Automator and Rahzel. The video was created by buzzed about music video director Matt McDermitt.
★Ξ★ As work on PEEPING TOM began some six years back and was interrupted to accommodate Patton's recording or touring work with Fantomas, Tomahawk, Lovage, General Patton vs. the X–ecutioners, Kaada/Patton, Rahzel and guest turns on Bjork and Massive Attack records, two feature film scores, his film acting debut in “Firecracker”, videogame voice work in “The Darkness” and an ultimately "ridiculous" major label flirtation, enough material has massed for a second and possibly third record. A PEEPING TOM tour is also in discussion, pending various collaborators' schedules.
★Ξ★ The band will make their worldwide live debut on the Conan O’Brien show on May 26th.
