i of the mourning

News bits are everywhere, with energy ramping up for the release of Billy Corgan's first solo album TheFutureEmbrace on June 20th internationally and June 21st in the US. The album was produced by Corgan along with Bjorn Thorsrud and Bon Harris, mixed by Alan Moulder, and recorded in Chicago. The album contains 11 Corgan originals plus a cover of the early Bee Gees classic "To Love Somebody," which dovetails with Corgan's own themes of devotion and features Robert Smith of the Cure on backing vocals. Elsewhere, former Smashing Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin plays on "DIA."
