In just two weeks, The Smashing Pumpkins will unexpectedly release a new album: "Aghori Mhori Mei." Here you can find the full tracklist.
In May 2023, The Smashing Pumpkins released new music, the final part of their work A Rock Opera in Three Acts. Since Atum was released, there haven't been any new singles - making the announcement of a complete album coming out on August 2nd, 2024, all the more surprising.
Aghori Mhori Mei
The Smashing Pumpkins have not released any singles in advance for a specific reason: the album is meant to be perceived and listened to as a complete work. They also released a statement about this:
"We played this game of Rock and Roll for 36 years. And ... had to give 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 as 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."
