The Smashing Pumpkins have announced the release of their 13th studio album, Aghori Mhori Mei. It'll be released on August 2, and finds frontman Billy Corgan moving forward by looking back to the era that produced the band's much-loved first three albums, Gish, Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
"In the writing of this new album I became intrigued with the well-worn axiom, 'you can’t go home again'," Corgan explains. “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."
