We've reached the eleventh chapter and the culmination of Act 1 of the interstellar musical expedition that is the new Smashing Pumpkins album ATUM. This week on #WPCThirtyThree we go guestless for the first time as we discuss the meaning behind the new song "The Gold Mask", and recap the story of Atum so far: the themes, the characters, and the driving force of what comes next in Act 2. Plus, we dive into the classic Oceania track "Pale Horse" and get personal with Billy Corgan on its emotional familial background ...all this and so much more, this week, on Thirty Three.
