Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan has posted on Instagram:
“Pleased to say I’ve wrapped up lyric writing on the 8 new @smashingpumpkins tracks, which essentially (and in theory) feeds into a much bigger project I’ve been planning for years now (more on that later). So it’s back in the studio next week to sing and overdub guitars with JI and JS,, and hopefully get this music out to you soon! Most likely to be presented as 2 ep’s before and during the tour (or possibly just after), which in itself opens the gateway to this grand (or grandiose?) idea I have. But let’s just say it’s as far reaching as anything we’ve ever done together, and with James, Jimmy, and Jeff’s support (which has been amazing) I feel anything is possible. Sort of like that lyric, ‘the impossible is possible…? Or was it ‘the possible is impossible…’ 😉 😉 ;)”
Corgan posted a few days ago, “Good day! Back home in Chicago, snowy and unfair as she is, with a week to refine lyrics for the 8 new SP songs, whilst also finishing hope a couple more solo songs. The solo album is currently between 16 and 18 songs, and still in need of overdubs. And speaking of overdubs, we’ll be back in Malibu next week to sing shiny new lyrics and cut final guitar overdubs with James and Jeff. Busy! But good busy. And for birdwatchers, here are the titles for the 8 Smashing Pumpkins songs: Alienation, Travels, Silvery Sometimes, Solara, With Sympathy, Marchin’ On, Knights of Malta, Seek and You Shall Destroy.”
