Billy Corgan will release his sophomore solo album this autumn.
'Ogilala', which was produced by Rick Rubin and recorded at Shangri La studios in Malibu, will arrive under the William Patrick Corgan moniker on October 13 via BMG.
Speaking about the record, Corgan said:
“For as long as I can remember the delineation point between songs I wrote for myself and songs I'd pen for whatever band was something I couldn't explain. And it remains so, for they all feel quite personal to me, no matter their time or era. The lone difference on songs for Ogilala is that they seemed to want little in the way of adornment. 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.”
Check out Aeronaut, the first track to be shared from the album, along with its tracklist and artwork, below.
