Peeping Tom is an experimental collaboration album by Mike Patton. It was released May 30, 2006 on Patton's own record label, Ipecac Recordings. The set was pieced together by swapping song files through the mail with collaborators such as Norah Jones, Kool Keith, and Massive Attack, among others. The album, and the band associated with it, is suspected to be named after Michael Powell's 1960 film Peeping Tom, which Patton has mentioned liking.^{[citation needed]} Image File history File links Peeping_tom_cover. ...

General description and history

"I don't listen to the radio, but if I did, this is what I'd want it to sound like," Patton says of the project. "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." For popular forms of music in general, see Popular music. ...

Peeping Tom debuted #12 mainstream album ARIA charts & #1 ARIA urban album chart on June 7, 2006. The first single from the self-titled record is "Mojo". It is accompanied by a music video featuring appearances by Danny DeVito, Mark Hoppus, Rachel Hunter as well as song collaborators Dan the Automator and Rahzel. The video was created by music video director Matt McDermitt. The ARIA charts are the main Australian music sales charts, issued weekly by the Australian Recording Industry Association. ...

Work on Peeping Tom began in 2000, but faced constant interruptions to accommodate Patton's recording or touring work with other bands and side projects including two feature film scores and a film acting debut in Firecracker. Over this six year period, enough material was written for a second and possible third album. Firecracker is a film directed by Steve Balderson. ...

In April 2005, Patton decided to scrap the Peeping Tom project, which was originally planned to be produced solely by Dan the Automator, stating "It's just turning into a lot of work, and it's too difficult to keep everyone up to speed." The project was later revived.

The album has multiple influences, including hip hop, alternative rock, trip hop, electro, ghettotech, soul music, G-Funk, ambient music, bossa nova, and experimental rock.

The band made their public debut on Late Night with Conan O'Brien on May 26, 2006. The group performed the song "Mojo", which, according to literal interpretation, is from the perspective of a drug addict. (This is especially ironic since Patton has claimed to have never used drugs in his life.) Alongside Patton, the other musicians involved were Rahzel, Dan The Automator, Rob Swift, Dub Trio and guest vocalist Imani Coppola. They were booed off the stage in Wantagh, NY on September 13, 2006, in Boston on September 16, and in New York City on September 19, while opening for classic rock group The Who.
