James Iha, member of A Perfect Circle, Tinted Windows, and most notably, Smashing Pumpkins, will release new solo album, Look To The Sky on September 18.
Described as offering “sophisticated pop melodies, lyrical sharpness and guitar driven rock”, the album will be released via The End Records and features cinematic lead single, To Who Knows Where.
“I wanted this record to be more eclectic and reflect all of my tastes which is why it took so long,” Iha explains in the single’s press release. “It was important to me for the record to be multi-dimensional and complex. Being a part of the Smashing Pumpkins, and working with so many other bands and artists since my last album [1998’s solo debut ‘Let It Come Down’] gave me a fresh perspective on what music could be.”
Guests on the forthcoming record include the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Karen O and Nick Zinner, Tegan And Sara’s Sara Quin, Fountains Of Wayne’s Adam Schlesinger, and legendary Television guitarist, Tom Verlaine
