The Smashing Pumpkins have announced a new album, Aghori Mhori Mei, arriving on August 2 via Martha’s Music/Thirty Tigers. The follow-up to last year’s triple album Atum spans 10 songs. It’s also the band’s first LP since the departure of longtime guitarist Jeff Schroeder in autumn of last year. Check out the album cover and tracklist below.
In a statement, Billy Corgan said: “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.”
