Peeping Tom, the project of highly influential musician and "noise rock renaissance man" Mike Patton, who's played most notably in popular alt-rock outfit Faith No More as well as experimental rock outfit Mr. Bungle, has completed work on his first album under the moniker.

According to reports, the project, in the works now for three years, was based upon the 1960 psychological thriller of the same name in which "a young man murders women, using a movie camera to film their dying expressions of terror." While the album features a multiple, wide range of collaboraters including Kool Keith, Norah Jones, Massive Attack, and Dan "the Automator" Nakamura among others, the songs were written before contacting the artists, with Patton hoping for responses. Said Patton,

It's an exotic way of working for someone accustomed to a band environment. It was charming, really. None of the usual 'Animal House' stuff. Instead of swapping spit and underwear, we were swapping files. […] Plenty of people on the record are still complete strangers to me.

A release has been set for May 30th on Patton's label, Ipecac Recordings.
