‘Oceania’ out June 19

EMI Label Services/Caroline Distribution has announced that it has entered into an exclusive agreement with Martha’s Music to release the highly anticipated album from THE SMASHING PUMPKINS entitled OCEANIA on June 19th, 2012. The agreement covers the world excluding Canada, Brazil and Australia.

The EMI Label Services/Caroline Distribution online catalog lists a CD digipak ($18.98 suggested price) and a double vinyl LP ($24.98) for Oceania, with Martha’s Music shown as the label. Martha’s Music is the Billy Corgan-owned imprint borne by the previous Smashing Pumpkins records Teargarden by Kaleidyscope volumes 1 and 2 (issued in conjunction with the label services company Rocket Science) and Zeitgeist (with Warner Music Group’s Reprise Records), as well as Corgan’s TheFutureEmbrace album and Zwan’s Mary Star of the Sea (both also with Reprise).

The EMI Label Services/Caroline Distribution homepage reads in part:

Caroline Distribution has a 30 year history as the premiere independent distribution company breaking many acts and nurturing many labels over the years. Many of today’s most significant independent labels and artists have been nurtured through this system. With EMI Label Services, artists and labels have the ability to secure turn-key global distribution deals, while having the potential to secure marketing support for the right artist at the right time through EMI’s “A-team” of promotion, publicity, online marketing, synch & licensing, brand sponsorship, new channel development and more.

The press release also states:

Peter Katsis, manager of SMASHING PUMPKINS for Prospect Park, added: “The Smashing Pumpkins created Oceania as an album experience, and it is intended for the process of the release to follow a path of inclusion, so that best efforts are made for all the fans hear it at the same time as press or radio. We were excited to find partners in EMI Label Services that were equally passionate about the plan for the album release as well as being huge fans of the Pumpkins.”

Prospect Park, led since 2008 by Hollywood hotshot Jeff Kwatinetz, has its feet in both TV production and music management. Artists on the Prospect Park roster include Jane’s Addiction, Korn, and Backstreet Boys. The Pumpkins were previously under Live Nation’s AGP Management.
