Smashing Pumpkins Frontman On Vinyl LP!
Features "Aeronaut" & "The Spaniards"!
As the founding member of THE SMASHING PUMPKINS, William Patrick Corgan has created one of the most acclaimed bodies of work in musical history having sold more than 30 million albums, and won multiple Grammy Awards in the process. For Ogilala, he teamed up with legendary producer Rick Rubin to make his most intimate body of work to date.
"On the first album released under his full name, William Patrick Corgan, the Smashing Pumpkin sheds the prickly antagonism that coursed through his 2005 solo offering, TheFutureEmbrace, a misfit collection of industrial pop released when he was still Billy. Instead, Ogilala adopts a mode of disarming gentleness. Produced by Rick Rubin, it's the softest collection of songs Corgan's ever put his name to, built on piano, acoustic guitar, and a tasteful palette of synths... Even in his moments of insecurity, like when he pleads, 'Take me as I am' over and over throughout 'The Spaniards'' lovely chorus, Corgan seems to have found something like peace. The anger and frustration that characterized his most famous work melts away on Ogilala, which stands out as his most centered, vulnerable, and soothing music yet. That he's able to arrive here while still honing his songcraft more than 25 years into his career is no small feat; it's the holy grail for any rock star who's survived his years in the limelight and moved on to the unbounded, uncertain future beyond them. Maybe the world seems sweeter to Corgan now that he's got a kid to share it with. Maybe he's just lived long enough to discover that the sadness isn't so infinite after all." - Sasha Geffen, Consequence of Sound
