The Smashing Pumpkins Will Release New Album In August
The Smashing Pumpkins have revealed their 13th album, Aghori Mhori Mei, will drop on August 2nd.
“In the writing of this new album I became intrigued with the well-worn axiom, ‘you can’t go home again,'” said frontman Billy Corgan. “Which I have found personally to be true in form but thought well, what if we tried anyway? Not so much in looking backwards with sentimentality but rather as a means to move forward; to see if in the balance of success and failure that our ways of making music circa 1990-1996 would still inspire something revelatory.”
Corgan posted on social media, “We want people to hear the record as one body of work, and they can decide, the value of what we have done.”
The band’s last album was ATUM: A Rock Opera In Three Acts that was released beginning November ’22.
The Smashing Pumpkins begin their summer tour with Green Day next Monday, July 29th in Washington at Nationals Park. Find the tour dates HERE.
