Peekaboo is the second studio album of the synthpop duo Marsheaux. It was issued in 2006 by Undo Records.
Upon its release in Marsheaux's native Greece in December 2006,[4] it earned positive reviews from music critics. The album was formally released in the UK on 9 April 2007. It has also sold well internationally on the internet, principally in the UK and USA.
Peekaboo is heavily influenced by the early analogue synthesizer works of Depeche Mode and The Human League. It contains two covers, "Regret" by New Order and "The Promise" by When In Rome. All vocals are in English.

The album has received favourable ratings from critics. The Side-Line magazine called it "pure synth-pop music with strong references to the 80s" comparing it to the music of Ladytron.[3] A review by the German Metal.de webzine noted a creative songwriting with surprising moments[2] and also ElectronicallyYours lauded the album's originality.[1]
All songs written and composed by Marsheaux except "The Promise" by When In Rome and "Regret" by New Order.[5].
