 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.

 The vinyl has been out of print since its initial release in 2006
and this reissue features a die-cut sleeve, different from the
original release.

 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.”

 The album also includes contributions from Amon Tobin, Bebel
Gilberto, Dub Trio, 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. The end result is an utterly unique
multi-genre / multi-artist departure from Patton’s more recent
noisy output - one that would ultimately have to be classified as
a pop record. A Mike Patton pop record, but a pop record,
nonetheless.

 “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.”
