Drummer Says New Smashing Pumpkin Music "Sounds Fantastic"

Smashing Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin has come out to speak on the band's new material.

"I'm here to tell you that great things are on track for the future," Chamberlin wrote on the Pumpkins' Myspace.com page. "As some of you know we are indeed creating music again -- music that comes from a place so pure it will burn the lies off the very souls of those who try to discount it. We have arrived at a place in our lives where truth and honesty prevail and we are creating from that place."

The band was working with producer Roy Thomas Baker previously and is now working with producer Terry Date.

"The universe has a way of letting you know that things are right by introducing people like [Baker] and Terry into the fold," Chamberlin wrote, adding that the new music is "sounding fantastic. It's all part of one big cosmic journey, in so that everyone reading this is hitching their silver chord to the Great Pumpkin Space Train!"
