Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan has spent the last three years slaving away at a massively insane internet-only, 44-song concept record, called Teargarden By Kaleidyscope. That album now includes an “album within an album” called Oceania, which will be released via traditional record-label channels, with EMI on June 19.
I guess what’s nice about this – I mean other than the fact this this is a new Smashing Pumpkins album that isn’t Zeitgeist – is that EMI was the band’s original label, so there’s a neat sense of circularity here.
The Teargarden By Kaleidyscope project is ongoing, with each song being released as it’s done being recorded; three EPs have been released already.
