Jimmy Chamberlain, the long-time drummer for recently reformed rock band Smashing Pumpkins, has spoken out about the band’s latest efforts in the studio.

Billboard reports that producers Roy Thomas Baker (best known for his work with Queen) and Terry Date (Deftones, Soundgarden) have both been behind the boards thus far. However, Chamberlain didn’t talk about the band’s current line-up, which officially includes only himself and front-man Billy Corgan at the moment.

“I’m here to tell you that great things are on track for the future,” read a message from Chamberlin on the band’s MySpace page. “As some of you know we are indeed creating music again — music that comes from a place so pure it will burn the lies off the very souls of those who try to discount it. We have arrived at a place in our lives where truth and honesty prevail and we are creating from that place.” Getting away from the flowery description, Chamberlain added that the new tunes are “sounding fantastic.”

Although no release dates or labels have been announced so far, many are expecting the band to tour in support of a new album sometime next year.
