Billy Corgan & Courtney Love Reunite On Corgan’s Podcast To Air Their Grievances About Kim Gordon
Billy Corgan and Courtney Love go way back. Hole’s head honcho briefly dated the Smashing Pumpkins founder in 1991; she claims most of Siamese Dream is about her. Corgan co-wrote several songs on Hole’s 1998 classic Celebrity Skin, and Hole’s Melissa Auf der Maur did a stint as the Pumpkins’ bassist during the tour supporting 2000’s Machina/The Machines Of God. Today, Love has taken a break from teasing a non-existent Hole reunion and chronicling her journey toward Geese fandom to guest on Corgan’s podcast The Magnificent Others.

Spencer Krug Announces New Solo LP

New Album Same Fangs Releases May 15, 2026Canadian songwriter Spencer Krug has announced that his new solo album Same Fangs will be out May 15 on Pronounced Kroog, alongside its first single, “Timebomb,”, which landed last week. Available on digital and vinyl, after Wolf Parade’s “I’ll Believe In Anything” Resurfacing through Netflix’s *Heated Rivalry*, a new wave of listeners began discovering Krug’s catalogue, reliving over twenty years of hard work. For an artist whose projects have amassed hundreds of millions of streams with Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown, Moonface, and his solo recordings, the timing feels more rewarding. Same Fangs is built almost entirely around piano and voice, the record blends bombast with tension and clarity over chaos. There are influences of Tobias Jesso Jr.’, late-era Leonard Cohen, and Lou Reed’. But this is not imitation. It’s distillation. An indie lifer narrowing the lens.
One of the first songs off the album, “Timebomb” was originally rewrite an earlier song about tour nostalgia, which turned into something more uncomfortable. “Timebomb is a song about a song about a band on tour, or rather, about the failed revision of that song, upon sadly realizing that its original message no longer rings true,” Krug explains. “This is me lyrically folding myself into the murky layers of self-made lore.”
“Same Fangs” was recorded at The Noise Floor with Jordan Koop, the track leans into distorted piano and effected vocals, with guest harmonies from Elbow Kiss. Lyrically, Krug doesn’t dodge the tension. “I was a gambling man in a rock and roll band,” he sings, before admitting, “Turns out the song’s just what it is.” Later, in a flash of self-aware venom, “Mirror me and I will mirror you / what a pair of motherfuckers in a feedback loop.”.

The album is drawn from demos posted to Krug’s Patreon throughout 2024 and 2025, then re-recorded in a single week on Gabriola Island. Piano and vocals form the spine, but subtle additions, percussion, strings arranged by Maria Grigoryeva, electric guitar and textures from Koop, and collaborative vocal from Elbow Kiss. Contributors were encouraged to write their own parts. Lyrically, Same Fangs moves through life in bands, marriage and fatherhood, ending friendships, small-town living, political fatigue, gratitude, and songwriting itself. It’s reflective for someone who has navigated the Sub Pop years, the Jagjaguwar arc, NPR sessions, BBC spins, KEXP rotations, and years of international touring.
