Smashing Pumpkins_halloween Party

The Smashing Pumpkins return with a new double album. The LP features 20 tracks, including the title track Cyr and The Colour of Love, and was recorded in the band’s native Chicago with Billy Corgan serving as producer. Cyr marks Smashing Pumpkins’ second LP since their semi-reunion with guitarist James Iha and drummer Jimmy Chamberlain, following 2018’s Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun. The album is also the band’s first with Sumerian Records, who recently signed them.

Arriving several months before Nirvana's Nevermind, the Smashing Pumpkins' debut album, Gish, which was also produced by Butch Vig, was the first shot of the alternative revolution that transformed the rock & roll landscape of the '90s. While Nirvana was a punk band, the Smashing Pumpkins and guitarist/vocalist Billy Corgan are arena rockers, co-opting their metallic riffs and epic art rock song structures with self-absorbed lyrical confessions.

In June of 2007, the re-united and re-vamped Smashing Pumpkins eschewed a traditional US tour and opted to play two residencies in Asheville, NC and San Francisco, CA. "If All Goes Wrong" captures the band at a moment of unprecedented creativity, crushing uncertainty and undeniable gravity.

Features 20 music videos, band commentary, narration by the video directors, never-before-seen outtakes and bonus behind-the-scenes documentaries + a short film by Jonas Akerlund, never before commercially available.

As he set to work on Monuments to an Elegy, the second "album within an album" within the larger Teargarden by Kaleidyscope project, Billy Corgan slowly whittled down Smashing Pumpkins to himself and guitarist Jeff Schroeder.
