The following message has mysteriously appeared on the Smashing Pumpkins website:

"The Smashing Pumpkins are currently in the recording studio with legendary producer Roy Thomas Baker (Queen, The Cars, The Darkness), at work on their first new album since 1999."

Awesome! If there's anything I want out of a new Smashing Pumpkins album, it's glittery pomp and new wave sparkle.

Still no word on who's in the band other than Billy Corgan, or when the album's coming out. However, I'm guessing that it's going to come out on Warner Bros. or Reprise, since the mailing list on the Pumpkins site is run by Warner/Reprise.
