The Smashing Pumpkins will be releasing a new album titled “Aghori Mhori Mei” on August 02nd. The group’s linchpin, vocalist/guitarist Billy Corgan, produced this thirteenth studio effort from the diamond-certified alternative rockers. He had the the following to share about it:
“In the writing of this new album I became intrigued with the well-worn axiom, ‘you can’t go home again’, 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.”
A separate statement attributed to the band as a whole reads as follows:
“We played this game of Rock and Roll for 36 years.
And… had to give the knee many times to what is the first song and what is the first statement and let other people judge us by one moment in time. We felt the right way to hear this record was an intact body of work.
10 songs, about 45 minutes, and then let the fans decide whether or not what we’ve done is what we set out to accomplish, whether we put ourselves back in that original position, whether we were able to go home again with this record.
So on August 2nd, 2024, it’ll be there for everyone to listen to. We’re just gonna put it out digitally. Of course, we’re gonna put it for sale and that comes later, but we want to just put the record out.
And we’re proud of what we’ve done, but we want people to hear the record as one body of work and they can decide the value of what we have done.”
