‘ATUM’ will contain 33 tracks - with each track being featured chronologically each week on Corgan’s podcast - and is the follow-up to 1995’s ‘Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness’ and 2000’s ‘Machina/Machine of God’. ‘ATUM’ became written and produced by Corgan for the last 4 years. Each eleven-song act will be released on digital streaming platforms every eleven weeks to coincide with the podcast: Act 1 on November 15, 2022. Act 2 on January 31, 2023. Act 3 on April 21, 2023 along with a special Edition boxset released with all 33 album tracks and 10 additional unreleased songs, which can also be pre-ordered HERE: https://orcd.co/atum

Also introduced was Billy Corgan’s brand-new podcast series ‘Thirty-Three with William Patrick Corgan’. The first two episodes are available now at https://smashingpumpkins.com, where fans can hear two previously unreleased tracks from the upcoming SMASHING PUMPKINS album. Guest of the first episode is David Bowie’s esteemed long-time pianist Mike Garson.

More guests will be announced soon. A new unreleased song will be featured in each episode of ‘Thirty-Three with William Patrick Corgan’ until the official release of ‘ATUM’ in 2023. This week, tracks ‘Atum’ and ‘Butterfly Suite’ are introduced, and Corgan himself gives a deeper look into his upcoming 33-track concept album.

When THE SMASHING PUMPKINS hit Chicago in 1988, the world had never heard a band like them. They fused Rock, Pop, Shoe-Gaze, Metal, Gothic, Psychedelia and Electronica into a kaleidoscope of sugary melodies, distorted guitars, bombastic orchestration, eloquent song technique and unwavering hooks. When they formed, their sound was different, iconoclastic and entirely new - and it still is today. As a result, they have sold over 30 million albums worldwide and won two GRAMMY® Awards, two MTV VMAs and an American Music Award. Their catalog includes the platinum album ‘Gish’ [1991], the quadruple platinum album ‘Siamese Dream’ [1993], the Diamond Award album ‘Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness’ [1995], the platinum album ‘Adore’ [1998] and the gold album ‘Machina/The Machines of God’ [2000]. In 2018 they embarked on one of their most successful tours ever, the ‘Shiny and Oh So Bright Tour’, followed by ‘SHINY AND OH SO BRIGHT, VOL. 1 / LP: NO PAST. NO FUTURE. NO SUN’. Meanwhile, 2020 saw the release of the band’s eleventh album and latest double album, ‘CYR’. THE SMASHING PUMPKINS are as productive as ever.
