THE VINYL WORD: BILLY CORGAN RETURNS WITH THE BEST SMASHING PUMPKINS ALBUM SINCE THE 90s

BUY THE VINYL HERE

There’s a long-running joke about seeing a beloved band, maybe one you’ve followed since your childhood, and hearing the worst phrase that the frontman could utter: “We’re going to play a few songs from our new album.”

The feeling is familiar, whether you were hoping to hear a choice cut from The Beach Boys’ SMiLE during the band’s current tour and instead got their new single, “That’s Why God Made the Radio.” Maybe you walked away relieved when Neutral Milk Hotel’s Jeff Mangum didn’t pull out any new cuts in recent live appearances. The point is, it’s almost more comforting to toss a new disc into the never-to-be-listened-to-again pile than to remember that your 13-year-old self wasn’t in love with The Wall or didn’t care for the deeper cuts on Siamese Dream until a year after its release.

This must be Billy Corgan’s frustration—that in a musical landscape that’s littered every day with countless singles and rough YouTube performances of new songs, whole albums aren’t getting the attention, the repeat listens, the second chances they deserve.

And now, after a dormant phase in the Pumpkins’ steady flow of releases, audiences have their first extended listen to the band since 2007’s Zeitgeist, a respectable effort that, while not the most concise or hard-hitting, did see Corgan getting his vision of the Pumpkins back on its feet. Oceania … is the group’s most focused, and solid effort since 2000’s Machina/The Machines of God.  And although the band has put an emphasis on slowly releasing single songs, the album feels like its own focused piece, and not just 13 different studio tracks, and Oceania very much sees Corgan and company settling into album, not single, territory. And that’s probably where long-term fans have wanted to see them for a long time. — Paste

NEW RELEASE OF THE WEEK: FIONA APPLE'S TRIUMPHANT RETURN

PREVIEW/BUY THE VINYL HERE

Unguarded honesty doesn’t go out of style. This is especially true in 2012, when major artists can get so caught up in “brand management” and web-based “social engagement” that the core of their art — emotion, intelligence, meaningful connectivity — is sometimes lost amidst bottomless scrolls. Being able to slice through the bullshit is arguably more coveted now than when Fiona Apple did just that during her ferocious acceptance speech at the 1997 VMAs. Another famed modern truth-teller and award-show crasher (and noted Fiona fan), Kanye West, has been able to harness technology, the media, and his own public projection by constantly negotiating with all things fresh and new. Apple doesn’t really care about all that. In interviews from both 2000 and 2012, she claimed to not listen to any new music whatsoever, and when she recently sat down with Carrie Battan for a Pitchfork interview, she referred to Google as “this whole Google thing,” like an overwhelmed grandmother. On her entirely acoustic fourth album, The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do, the 34-year-old makes herself heard with her voice, her words, her piano, and not much else.

This is the most distilled Fiona Apple album yet. While her celebrated previous work was marked by eclectic musical flourishes courtesy of producers including Jon Brion and Mike Elizondo, The Idler Wheel is fearlessly austere in comparison. She worked with touring drummer Charley Drayton on the album, and his touches are light and incisive. Speaking of the record’s signature clattering percussion — including thigh slaps, truck stomps, and “pillow,” according to the credits — Apple associated the homemade sounds with an increased freedom: “I just like that feeling of: ‘I’m in charge, I can do whatever I want.'” And this musique concrète approach is not random. Every single waveform is pierced with purpose, from the muted heartbeat thumping through “Valentine” to the childlike plinks popping around the uncharacteristically optimistic “Anything We Want” to the chugging factory sounds that give “Jonathan” its uneasy rhythm.

It’s an old-school approach, though it rises well above mere sepia Instagrams. Instead of being far-off and dreamy, her throwback moves are the opposite — intrusive, corporeal. This is not background music. It demands attention. “Look at! Look at! Look at! Look at me!” she pleads on “Daredevil”, a knowing admission of her self-destructive tendencies. But even after being thrown into the media spotlight at a young age, and having to deal with crippling doubt, Fiona Apple didn’t go boom. She’s still here, brave enough to indulge in raw emotion and smart enough to make those feelings carry. — Pitchfork
