Billy Corgan Announces Plans for the Pumpkins



Among the news Corgan gives on this video, posted on their blog this morning, is the fact that a new track, "Othawa," will complete the Pumpkins' latest effort, Teargarden by Kaleidyscope which has been made available on their website for free download one song at a time. The Pumpkins will also make a new album, Oceania, which Corgan says will be "part of the Teargarden project." I think this is good news, but I hope Oceania will be a better effort than its predecessor. I don't know, I just miss the hard, grinding Pumpkins stuff from back in the day, like "Zero." I still love songs like "In the Arms of Sleep" and "Cherub Rock," but it felt like Teargarden had no variety at all; it was just one long, long, long song.
