Smashing Pumpkins Reveal New Album ‘Aghori Mhori Mei’ Out in Two Weeks

“In the writing of this new album I became intrigued with the well-worn axiom, ‘you can’t go home again,’” Corgan said in a statement. “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.”

As the band revealed on social media Friday, the album won’t be preceded by any singles, with Corgan opting to deliver the LP directly to fans as “an intact body of work” on August 2. “10 songs, about 45 minutes, and then let the fans decides whether we put ourselves back in that original position, whether we were able to go home again with this record,” Corgan added.
