TheFutureEmbrace, Billy Corgan's first solo album, came out on Warner Bros. in June 2005, at a strange crossroads for the Smashing Pumpkins frontman. The Pumpkins had split in 2000, Zwan, the band he started with Jimmy Chamberlin, had come and gone, and he had just published a book of poetry, Blinking with Fists. Within two years he would have the Pumpkins back together.
What he made in the meantime sounds little like most of what came before. Corgan set aside his familiar formula of drums, bass and big guitars for a cool electronic sound, then smeared heavily distorted guitars across it until they blur into something close to shoegaze. "Walking Shade" carries that chilly, fuzzed-out mood onto the radio.
