On August 21st, Fruit Bats singer Eric D. Johnson will release a full-LP cover of The Smashing Pumpkins’ ‘Siamese Dream’ as part of Turntable Kitchen’s ‘SOUNDS DELICIOUS’ subscription series on limited edition vinyl.
Johnson played all of the instruments and provided the vocals for the record and said about the undertaking: “Of course I’m not going to be able to recreate Billy Corgan’s crushing, epic guitar tone,” he said. “Nor could I dream of touching Jimmy Chamberlin’s floaty (yet ever-shredding) drumming. This version is all about hazy memories for me, and how Corgan’s brilliant pop hooks can travel through time and exist in any possible instrumental configuration”.
Our first taste of the project is their version of “Today”.
