The Smashing Pumpkins announce Teargarden by Kaleidyscope



Billy Corgan has just revealed via The Smashing Pumpkins blog that the band has begun recording for a new album titled Teargarden by Kaleidyscope. The record will have 44 tracks, but no traditional release date, as the band will post completed songs sporadically until all are done. Best part is every song will be free free free.

Seems like a really cool idea and I'm liking what I'm hearing about the the direction of the album, as it supposedly "harkens back to the original psychedelic roots of The Smashing Pumpkins: atmospheric, melodic, heavy, and pretty." If this can come anywhere near Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, one of my favorite albums of all time, I'll be ecstatic.

According to Corgan, the first track should drop somewhere around Halloween so look out for that and hit the blog below to get all the details.
