    Peepshow is the ninth studio album by English alternative rock band Siouxsie and the Banshees, released in September 1988 on Polydor. It was their first record as a quintet. With the arrival of multi-instrumentalist Martin McCarrick, the group recorded a multifaceted album with a variety of influences. Including the singles "Peek-a-Boo" and "The Last Beat of My Heart", the record was a commercial success, peaking at No. 68 on the Billboard 200 chart in the week of 3 December 1988. It spent a total of 20 weeks on that chart. Peepshow was widely acclaimed by critics. Praise centred around the unpredictability of the orchestrations and new nuances in Siouxsie's voice.

    The switch to Yet Another Banshees Guitarist in Specimen vet Jon Klein might have been seen as a cue for a time of tentative rebuilding – the more so because another new member, cellist Martin McCarrick, was recruited at the same time. Anything but – heralded by the spectacular "Peek-A-Boo," interpolating what sounded like the Charleston into hip-hop rhythms with a brilliant, choppy arrangement, Peepshow proved the band's best album in years. Once again showcasing the band's ace in the hole – the ability to always provide an accomplished variety of sound and approach while still recognizably maintaining a uniquely Banshees style – Peepshow is the sound of a band reenergized. Siouxsie's thrilling call and response with herself on "Peek-A-Boo" really can't be beat, but her star turns throughout the album all deserve notice, especially with the bravura one-two conclusion of the stately "The Last Beat of My Heart" and the dramatic, lives-up-to-the-title "Rhapsody." McCarrick's cello work is excellently integrated into the music, adding a purring extra bite on songs like the pummeling "The Killing Jar," while both Steven Severin and Budgie acquit themselves well as always. If their moments of total flash are subsumed for the overall arrangements, it's to the benefit of the songs, overseen with another fine production job from semi-regular Banshees studio cohort Mike Hedges. The band's knack for a combination of title, lyric, and atmosphere remains strong – "Carousel" sounds indeed like a slightly demented version of such a thing, while "Rawhead and Bloodybones," appropriately for two English bogeyman characters, is quiet, creepy, and very much sneaking-up-on-you-in-the-night. "Scarecrow" is a secret highlight, ominous guitar and bass tones and swirling arrangements supporting a great Siouxsie turn, while the hints of flamenco on "Turn to Stone" perhaps inadvertently suggest where the Creatures would end up with their next album two years later.

    Review by Ned Raggett, Allmusic.com

    The odds suggest that Siouxsie & The Banshees should be all washed up by now, retreading their familiar obsessions in ever diminishing circles. The Banshees began as a typical punk jeu d'esprit, a name conjured up to strike a hokey note of fear and to give Siouxsie and partner Steve Severin a stage for playing pranks like their first appearance - a 20-minute assault on The Lord's Prayer. The pranks have lasted longer than anyone might have imagined and the Banshees have succeeded in forging their own obsessions from a rich and enduring seam.

    If the past five years have been something of a write-off for Siouxsie co, littered with departing guitarists, broken legs and some slightly woebegone holding actions like 1983's double live album Nocturne and last year's LP of cover versions, Through The Looking Glass, Peep Show is a startling act of reinvention and the ultimate proof of Siouxsie's bloody mindedness.

    Contrary to expectation, the years have not withered the Banshees nor shrivelled their fertile imaginations. The cat is already half way out of the bag in the shape of Peek A Boo, the record's first single and a bizarre blend of scratch and swing that manages to sound quite unlike the Banshees while virtually boasting that it could be the work of no one else. Peek A Boo is typical of Peep Show in the way it addresses itself to familiar Banshee themes - in this case the bewitching and dubious power of the look - while managing to find unpredictable and joky ways of doing so. Martin McCarrick's accordion that pokes it's way into Peek A Boo is par for the course, a carny piece of musical imagination that adds fresh colouring to the Banshees' canvas while perfectly illustrating the monkey games that Peek A Boo is undermining.

    The rest of the record bursts with similar acts of imagination and establishes once and for all that the Banshees have long outgrown their sojourn as a mere rock band. Peep Show takes place in some distorted fairground of the mind where weird and wonderful shapes loom and songs emerge with names like Scarecrow, Carousel and Rhapsody. Full honours go to the aforementioned McCarrick for all manner of shrewd decorations and drummer Budgie for endlessly inventive rhythm work that manages to pinpoint the tension inherent in each song without ever lapsing into an obvious beat.

    When the first side concludes with Siouxsie witchily exploring nursery rhymes like "Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jump over the candlestick" to the strains of a harmonica, it's long since apparent that she is not trading on any laurels. When her singing simply shimmers on the ballad The Last Beat Of My Heart towards the end of side two, she has earned a new kind of respect. Twelve years and 11 albums in, Siouxsie & The Banshees have managed to recapture why they're in this game in the first place while binding that discovery to a well-earned maturity. The results are simply black magic.
