Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin reunited in 2001 as members of Corgan’s next project, the short-lived supergroup Zwan . The group’s only album, Mary Star of the Sea , was released in 2003. After cancelling a few festival appearances, Corgan announced the demise of the band in 2003. During 2001 Corgan also toured as part of New Order and provided vocals on their comeback album Get Ready . In October 2004 Corgan released his first book, Blinking with Fists , a collection of poetry. In June 2005, he released a solo album, TheFutureEmbrace , which he described as “(picking) up the thread of the as-yet-unfinished work of the Smashing Pumpkins”. Despite this, it was greeted with generally mixed reviews and lackluster sales. Only one single, “Walking Shade”, was released in support of the album.
