Ogilala is the second solo album by American musician Billy Corgan (under the name William Patrick Corgan), frontman of alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins. The album was released on October 13, 2017, in the United States. The album was co-produced by Corgan with Rick Rubin, and does not feature Corgan's longtime collaborator Bjorn Thorsrud. "Aeronaut" preceded the record as its lead single, with a US tour beginning the day after the record's release.
In comparison with Corgan's previous work, the album's songs are primarily acoustic, and are predominantly performed on acoustic guitar, piano and strings. The song "Processional" marks the first time since The Smashing Pumpkins' break-up in 2000 that Corgan has collaborated with the band's former guitarist James Iha.
All tracks written by Billy Corgan.
Some tracks are cross-faded in the physical version, thus reducing the playing time of the album about 20 seconds.
