‘Monuments to an Elegy’ (with artwork photographed by Corgan) marks the iconic alternative band’s eighth studio album and is the follow-up to their 2012 critically acclaimed album ‘Oceania’. The new album was recorded in Chicago with Smashing Pumpkins guitarist Jeff Schroeder, who’s been in the band since 2007. Playing drums throughout is Tommy Lee.
The album was produced by Howard Willing (who first worked with the Pumpkins on the ‘Adore’ sessions), Corgan and Schroeder. It was mixed by David Bottrill and mastered by Howie Weinberg, who did the same honours for Pumpkins classics in the ‘90s. ‘Monuments to an Elegy’ is “an album within an album”, part of their ongoing work-in-progress Teargarden By Kaleidyscope (with Day For Night as the project’s last work).
