THE SMASHING PUMPKINS will release a new album, 'Oceania', on 18th June 2012 via EMI Music. Now, the band revealed the cover artwork. The picture of deep beauty was taken by photographer Richard Shay, son of legendary Chicago based photo artist Art Shay. 'Oceania' was recorded at the home studio of singer/guitarist Billy Corgan, together with his band mates Jeff Schroeder (guitar), Mike Byrne (drums) and Nicole Fiorentino (bass and vocals). The album contains 13 songs which were produced by Corgan together with Bjorn Thorsrud, mixed by David Bottrill.
