Two-time GRAMMY® Award-winning iconic rock band The Smashing Pumpkins have announced their new album Aghori Mhori Mei, out August 2. The announcement comes amidst the band’s highly-successful international tour, which just wrapped its 20+ date European leg and will begin its North American run of shows later this month.

The Smashing Pumpkins’ thirteenth collection to date, Aghori Mhori Mei continues the prolific hot streak frontman Billy Corgan kicked off a decade ago. Just last year, the band released the third and final Act of their sprawling and adventurous rock opera ATUM, a sequel to 1995’s Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness and 2000’s Machina/The Machines Of God. While some artists might take a breather after an acclaimed and ambitious triple album, Corgan went straight back into the studio to write, produce, and record this new 10-track body of work. As vital and vibrant a songwriter as ever, Corgan had quickly promised a 2024 follow-up on the horizon, which serves as the latest twist in Corgan’s careful commitment to how his art is presented. The band completed the recording of Aghori Mhori Mei amidst an expansive touring schedule across the last few years.

“In the writing of this new album I became intrigued with the well-worn axiom, ‘you can’t go home again’,” Corgan remarks. “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.
