You've got to hand it to Mr. Corgan - He's not giving up on The Smashing Pumpkins. He's planning on releasing two albums in 2015. This is the first one, called "Monuments to An Elegy" and while very little info has surfaced so far, we know he's working with former Adore producer Howard Willing. Call him creative, or call him pretentious - He's definitely making up for lost times.

"For those interested in sound, think: ‘guitars, guitars, guitars, and more guitars;’ but more so on the epic side of things than say, grossly metallic," Billy Corgan writes in the post.

Corgan also elaborated on how their new website will help document the recording process:

Additionally, this stands as the initial post on a new nexus: The Panopticon, which through its simplicity should better address the speed of modern life. A continuing feature, items regarding each day’s recording will be shared that same evening, with song titles, lyrics, poetic impressions, pictures, sound clips, studio gear and the like offered for a circuitous, bird’s eye view of the process as it unfolds.

Billy Corgan confirmed release date

Added

In an Interview with StereoGum on August 19th Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan confirmed that the album will be released on December 9th. Read his statement down below

STEREOGUM: OK, cool. If you’re open to talking about them yet, I was also curious about the two albums you have coming out next year.

CORGAN: Actually, the first one, Monuments To An Elegy, has been bumped up to, at this moment, December 9th. It’s funny, I put some of that information on a weekend post … it’s interesting how the internet works. I put that on a weekend post and nobody picked up on it.

STEREOGUM: Yeah, I’m surprised I hadn’t heard about that. So this is the one that’s nine songs, right?

CORGAN: Yeah, it’s nine songs. I actually got to play the unmixed but finished version the other night for Tommy Lee when he was in town. I played it for him after the Mötley Crüe concert here in Chicago.

    “Thrilled to report that we now have our album in total, as top songs are arranged and set for drum tracking. So over the next 3 days I’ll be focusing on vocal arrangements, lyrics, and tweaking the overall aesthetics of the record as I hope it shall be. At least then I’ll be able to share a different narrative for a spell, and get off this merry-go-round we’ve all been on.
    That said, unless I manage to write another corker in the next month, here lies the tracklisting for ‘MONUMENTS TO AN ELEGY’ (all titles subject to change):
    BEING BEIGE (WORLD’S ON FIRE)
    ANTI-HERO
    TIBERIUS
    RUN TO ME
    ONE AND ALL
    DRUM AND FIFE
    DORIAN
    MONUMENTS
    ANAISE
    W.P.C.”

    Mixed feelings about the first single. It’s very radio-commercial friendly, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing – But it’s still very Oceania-like. I was hoping for a new sound. Still, I’m hopeful for both of the albums, even if they might be the last two SP LPs.

    One And All sounds amazing. I saw them at William & Mary Hall in ’94 and this song brings me back to that show. Can’t wait for the drop.
