Ex-Smashing Pumpkin James Iha announces sophomore solo album, 14 years after his debut

by Nicole Villeneuve

Ex-Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha released his solo debut in 1998 when the Pumpkins were still (originally) together and Iha was still in the band. He’s been busy with other projects in between, but Exclaim! points to some other info uncovered on Amazon Japan (?) suggesting the follow-up is on its way soon.

Look to the Sky is set for release on March 14 via EMI, just after debut Let It Come Down gets a remastered and expanded edition (why?). Anyway, let’s watch “Be Strong Now.”

Here’s the tracklist for Look to the Sky:

1. Make Believe
2. Summer Days
3. To Who Knows Where
4. Till Next Tuesday
5. Dream Tonight
6. Dark Star
7. Appetite
8. Gemini
9. Waves
10. Speed of Love
11. 4th of July
12. A String of Words
13. Diamond Eyes
14. Stay Lost
