Peeping Tom were an American electronic rock group, 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 Amon Tobin, Massive Attack, Norah Jones and
Kool Keith.Peeping Tom has been called Patton's most mainstream
accessible work since his days with Faith No More.Work began on
Peeping Tom in 2000, but the album was delayed six years due to
Patton's recording or touring work with Fantômas, Tomahawk, Lovage,
General Patton vs. The X-Ecutioners, Kaada/Patton. Additionally,
around this time, he collaborated with Björk on her album medúlla,
received "a guest spot on a Massive Attack record," scored two feature
films, acted in Firecracker and did video game voice work in The
Darkness. Finally, in 2006, the self-titled debut album, Peeping Tom
was released through Patton's own label, Ipecac Recordings.The entire
album was written by Patton with a wishlist of collaborators he had in
mind and hoped would contribute to the finished tracks. The album
featured performances by artists such as Norah Jones ("Sucker"), Kool
Keith ("Getaway") and Massive Attack ("Kill the DJ"), although almost
none of the featured artists recorded their parts with Patton there.
"Instead of swapping spit and underwear, we were swapping files,"
Patton explained. He said that "plenty of people on the record are
still complete strangers to [him]."
