The long-awaited double album CYR by SMASHING PUMPKINS comes are way on
27th November. It’s the band’s 11th LP, directed by star producer Rick Rubin.
Original members James Iha, Jimmy Chamberlin and Jeff Schroeder joined general Billy Corgan again, who said: “In many ways, this is the first real album, since the reunion, where we’ve hunkered down and made a classic. Let’s throw it all at the wall and see what happens.”
So far the band shared no less
than 8 of the 20 songs.
Here all together on Spotify…

The new SMASHING PUMPKINS album (a double one) called CYR will
be for sale from 27 November on. Ringleader Billy Corgan produced the
records and James Iha, Jimmy Chamberlin, and Jeff Schroeder joined him
in the studio.
The band already dropped two songs. The title track and ‘The Colour Of Love’ and
here’s another pair. CONFESSIONS OF A DOPAMINE ADDICT is an introspective
synth-scape ballad and WRATH comes from the same mellow angle with dreamy
Corgan vocals.

29 August 2020
SMASHING PUMPKINS just announced a new album, their 11th, featuring Billy
Corgan, James Iha, Jimmy Chamberlin, and Jeff Schroeder. No release date so far
but the band surprised us with two new songs, CRY and THE COLOUR OF LOVE.
“‘Cry‘ is dystopic folly. One soul against the world sort of stuff, set against a backdrop
of shifting loyalties and sped up time. To me it stands as both hopeful and dismissive
of what is and isn’t possible with faith” says general Billy Corgan. It’s an unexpected
synth-driven, poppy, dancey and catchy piece.
On The Colour Of Love synths are also dominant, although this cut rocks more than ‘Cry’.
Check both songs out here…
