The Smashing Pumpkins Reveal Two New Tracks 'Ramona' & 'Wyttch'

Legendary GRAMMY Award-winning alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins continue to tease their highly anticipated, Billy Corgan-produced double-album CYR, with two new tracks; Wyttch and Ramona. The latter comes with an official music video.

Historically dynamic, Wyttch delves into the band's heavier and darker leanings, serving as a welcomed reminder why so many subscribe to The Smashing Pumpkins' continual innovation and unwillingness to remain the same or be pegged into one genre or era. Listen to Wyttch HERE.

Ahead of their Friday, November 27 double-album release, also comes Ramona [listen HERE], a gentler, synth-soaked track accompanied with an official music video directed by Linda Strawberry and featuring founding band-members Billy Corgan, James Iha, Jimmy Chamberlin and guitarist Jeff Schroeder. The video is a surreal gothic-western inspired love-story. Watch HERE.

In the lead up to the release of CYR, fans can also purchase high quality CYR merchandise, including limited edition CYR beanies, tee's, special ORCHID COLOR STANDARD VINYL, exclusive LIMITED EDITION PURBLE MARBLE VINYL, plus a limited edition collector's CYR DELUXE BOX SET, featuring exclusive black-ice vinyl, a photo-book, art prints and posters. All available now on The Smashing Pumpkins webstore HERE.

In other news, to commemorate its 25th year anniversary, the band revealed exclusive details on their forthcoming 33-track sequel to the Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness album, as well as Machina; the third in a trilogy of expansive and conceptual works underway. They also teased a Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness world arena tour announcement to come in 2021. Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin spoke to Daniel P Carter and answered fan questions via a virtual live-streamed chat on album's anniversary last week. Watch HERE.
