Album Notes & Community Reviews

Shedding their traditional guitar-driven post-punk sound, the band incorporated accordions, cellos, and synthesizers to craft a darkly playful and lush art pop record. 'Peepshow' leans heavily into mysterious, dark cabaret aesthetics, showcasing Siouxsie Sioux's increasingly theatrical and surreal lyricism.
