Let It Come Down is Smashing Pumpkins/A Perfect Circle's James Iha's first and currently only solo album. It was released in 1998, during which James Iha was still in The Smashing Pumpkins, before the release of Adore (album). Iha took on a more acoustic country-ish sound reminscent to that of the works he contributed to the Pumpkins. The style is notable to shy away from the darker sound of Billy Corgan's songwriting.
