Description
Zwan - Honestly / Number Of The Beast on 7" black vinyl.
A scarce opportunity to own this fantastic single from the short lived but highly regarded Billy Corgan project, Zwan.
The group was assembled by Billy Corgan following the split of the original four Smashing Pumpkins members in 2000. Jimmy Chamberlin was retained and boy does it show! What an absolute masterclass from him on this one. Not only that, but there's some other pretty heavyweight musicians in this "supergroup" of sorts.
All credit to NME for the following extract:
"...Now he's formed Zwan with an impressive selection of musicians mostly removed from the industrial metal world he so recently inhabited. Joining Corgan and Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, then, are Paz Lenchantin, bassist in A Perfect Circle and a Queens Of The Stone Age associate; guitarist Matt Sweeney, once of post-hardcore types Chavez, more recently a sideman for Bonnie Prince Billy and Catpower; and, intriguingly, the patron saint of post-rock David Pajo, who's figured in Slint, Tortoise and Royal Trux as well as his own fine Papa M.
So has Corgan abandoned stadium bombast for the humble allure of lo-fi? Well, of course not. 'Mary Star Of The Sea' is grandiose, anthemic and rarely troubled by either subtlety or overt experimentation. It's also, though, very good, by some distance the best record this gifted miscreant has made since 1993's 'Siamese Dream'."
