Smashing Pumpkins Announce New Album ‘Aghori Mhori Mei’
Smashing Pumpkins just announced their new album, “Aghori Mhori Mei”, will be released August 2. They’re currently on tour, having just wrapped up 20 shows in Europe – and now it’s all about North America. You can buy the deluxe version (which includes limited-edition autograph versions) of “Aghori Mhori Mei” from Madame Zuzu’s.
“Aghori Mhori Mei” is the band’s 13th album. It’s 10 songs and 45 minutes long. A tad different from last year’s triple album rock opera, Atum.
Singer 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.”
“Aghori Mhori Mei” track listing:
01. Edin
02. Pentagrams
03. Sighommi
04. Pentecost
05. War Dreams Of Itself
06. Who Goes There

ICYMI, earlier this week, the Pumpkins announced a multi-city Latin American fall tour – which will bring the band to South and Latin America for the first time in nearly a decade.
I like this – bands announcing a new album and a couple weeks later, we’ll hear it.
