Peeping Tom was Mike Patton's pop record, or as close to one as he was ever going to come. He started the project in 2000, kept it alive until 2007, and put out one self-titled album and three singles on Ipecac Recordings, with the album landing in 2006 and "Mojo" out front. It's been called his most accessible work since Faith No More, and you can hear why: the hooks are real, even when the arrangements veer off the road.
The trick was the guest list. Instead of a fixed band, Patton pulled in a rotating cast from all over the map: Massive Attack, Dan the Automator, Amon Tobin, Kool Keith, Rahzel, Dub Trio, Odd Nosdam, Norah Jones, Bebel Gilberto, Kid Koala, DJ Disk and Dale Crover among them. The result slides from trip-hop murk to electronic rock, rap-rock and glossy pop, with Patton crooning and snarling over the top like a man locked in a record store after hours and loving every minute of it. It stayed a one-off, which only makes it stranger and sweeter.
