Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
On initial hearing, Mary Star of the Sea by Zwan--Billy Corgan's first musical project after the Smashing Pumpkins--sounds light and breezy. His new bandmates-- Slint/Tortoise guitarist Dave Pajo, Skunk guitarist Matt Sweeney, A Perfect Circle bassist Paz Lenchantin and fellow Pumpkin Jimmy Chamberlain on drums--have given Corgan a fresh perspective and his time as touring guitarist for New Order seems to have heightened his love for mid-80s British indie. There are moments of straightforward jangle pop herein, while "Settle Down" reflects the moody angular style adopted by the likes of Interpol. He also appears to have fallen in love. "Honestly" has Corgan sighing "There is no place I could be without you…I feel love" like a newly reborn soppy fool. "Declarations of Faith" has him declaring "maybe we were born to love" to a gooey melody that recalls American Anglophile indie bands like Papas Fritas.

It's all a million musical and spiritual miles away from the messy pretension that led to the end of the Pumpkins. As the album progresses, though, Zwan merge this new perspective with the FM radio suss that characterised the best of the Pumpkins to produce a record that takes in 70s balladry and a 14 minute Spiritualized tribute (the title track) without feeling forced. There is even a nod to Britpop ("Baby Let's Rock!" is Suede pretending to be Menswear). It'll all end in tears, of course, but on this record Corgan's having the time of his life. --Ian Watson

Description
Debut album from Zwan, a band consisting of former members of the Smashing Pumpkins, Slint, Chavez and A Perfect Circle. 'Mary Star Of The Sea' is more straightforward and less dramatic than the Smashing Pumpkins previous works. Zwan features heavy wall-of-sound guitars, beautiful vocal melodies and powerful crescendos. Indie-rock with sixties psych and power-pop catchiness.
