- More about Siouxsie and the Banshees' Peepshow
Samantha Bennett explores how Siouxsie and the Banshees' Peepshow is better understood in the context of film and film music, drawing upon over one hundred films and film scores to reveal its deeply embedded historical and aesthetic (para)cinematic influences. The book focuses on how each track is a reflection of genre film, who the featured protagonists are, and how the diverse orchestration, complex musical forms, atypical narratives, and evocative soundscapes reveal an inherently cinematic record. Ultimately, Peepshow can be read as a soundtrack to all the films Siouxsie and the Banshees ever saw or the soundtrack to the greatest film they never made.

Siouxsie and the Banshees, a rock n roll band, released their ninth studio album, Peepshow, in 1978. The band retreated to a 17th-century mansion house in the deracinated Sussex countryside to write the album, absorbing the bygone, rural atmosphere and its inspirational mise en sc è ne. The album was framed cinematically, with Siouxsie Sioux recalling that it was as if they were doing the whole thing on the set of The Wicker Man. Samantha Bennett's book, Peepshow: A Soundtrack to All the Films Siouxsie and the Banshees Ever Saw, explores the album's deeply embedded historical and aesthetic (para)cinematic influences. It examines how each track reflects genre film, features various protagonists, and reveals an inherently cinematic record through its diverse orchestration, complex musical forms, atypical narratives, and evocative soundscapes. Ultimately, Peepshow can be read as a soundtrack to all the films Siouxsie and the Banshees ever saw or as the soundtrack to the greatest film they never made.
