Embedded below is “Cyr” and “The Colour of Love,” which marks the first new music from the band in 18 years to feature founding members Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlin and James Iha.
Corgan told The Tennessean in early February the band would be releasing a double album featuring 21 tracks this year and said, “This is the first real album [since the reunion] where we’ve hunkered down and made a classic, ‘Let’s throw it all at the wall and see what happens’ type of Pumpkins record. I’ve been working on it for over a year.” So far, a release date has yet to be announced.
