Peeping Tom is an avant-garde trip hop/hip hop album by Mike Patton's collaboration group, Peeping Tom. It was released May 30, 2006 on Patton's own record label, Ipecac Recordings. The album was produced by swapping song files through the mail[citation needed] with collaborators such as Norah Jones, Kool Keith, and Massive Attack, among others.
The album, and the band associated with it, is named after Michael Powell's 1960 film Peeping Tom, which Patton has mentioned liking.[1]
