The first single is expected to be released by year's end.The PUMPKINS' Billy Corgan says: "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 three 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."Corgan also revealed the tentative track listing for "Monuments To An Elegy". It is as follows (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."Monuments To An Elegy" is being produced by Howard Willing, who first worked with SMASHING PUMPKINS during the "Adore" sessionsThe PUMPKINS released their last studio album in 2012: "Oceania", which entered The Billboard 200 chart at No. 4, earned the No. 1 spot on the Independent Albums chart and garnered vast critical acclaim.
