Legendary GRAMMY® Award-winning alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins continue to tease their highly anticipated, Billy Corgan-produced double-album CYR, with two new tracks; Wyttch and Ramona. The latter comes with an official music video.
Historically dynamic, Wyttch delves into the band’s heavier and darker leanings, serving as a welcomed reminder why so many subscribe to The Smashing Pumpkins’ continual innovation and unwillingness to remain the same or be pegged into one genre or era.
Ahead of their Friday, November 27 double-album release, also comes Ramona, a gentler, synth-soaked track accompanied with an official music video directed by Linda Strawberry and featuring founding band-members Billy Corgan, James Iha, Jimmy Chamberlin and guitarist Jeff Schroeder. The video is a surreal gothic-western inspired love-story.
In other news, to commemorate its 25th year anniversary, the band revealed exclusive details on their forthcoming 33-track sequel to the Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness album, as well as Machina; the third in a trilogy of expansive and conceptual works underway. They also teased a Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness world arena tour announcement to come in 2021. Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin spoke to Daniel P Carter and answered fan questions via a virtual live-streamed chat on album’s anniversary last week.
