William Patrick Corgan (the artist previously known as Billy Corgan) has announced a new solo album. Ogilala was produced by Rick Rubin and arrives October 13th. Corgan commented on the album and working with Rubin:
"Having written the songs for voice and guitar, I put myself in Rick's hands to take the music wherever he'd like. Normally I would have done more, and tinkered more on production, but rather Rick put the onus on me to deliver at a molecular level via live takes. The rest was simply a reaction."
Today Corgan shared the first song "Aeronaut," a shimmering piece featuring piano, acoustic guitar, and strings. Stream below and pre-order Ogilala from Smashing Pumpkins' official store.
Corgan also announced a North American tour which bypasses the Detroit area. Dates are posted below.
