The Smashing Pumpkins - Aghori Mhori Mei (2024)

A bruising and shadowy return to form from original Smashing Pumpkins members Jimmy Chamberlin, James Iha, and Billy Corgan. Recorded in the immediate aftermath of their 33-song concept album, ‘Atum’, 'Aghori Mhori Mei' harkens back to the band’s early 90’s canon; where guitars, bass, drums, and spiking vocals ruled.

“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.”

– Billy Corgan

If we don’t get Murnau played live on this tour it’ll be a travesty. Imagine just sick guitar solos where the strings are in the later part of the song.
