TheFutureEmbrace

TheFutureEmbrace is the only solo album by Billy Corgan, frontman of the alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins. Released in June 2005, the album's sound was markedly different from most of Corgan's earlier work, eschewing his characteristic "drums, bass, (and) big-guitars sound" in favor of an electronic sound punctuated with heavily distorted guitar parts reminiscent of shoegazing. On the day of the album's release, Corgan said it "picks up the thread of the as-yet-unfinished work and charter of The Smashing Pumpkins" and announced plans to reform that band. He has released all of his music under the Smashing Pumpkins banner since 2006.
