First Listen: Smashing Pumpkins “Freak” And Four More Tracks For Free
Even though you may be one of the thousands that voted to make Smashing Pumpkins the #1 Best Band from the 90s, you may not be aware that Mr. Corgan has released one track from the EP Teargarden by Kaleidyscope, Vol. 2: The Solstice Bare as well as four tracks from Teargarden by Kaleidyscope Vol 1: Songs for a Sailor, that along with additional soon-to-be-released volumes, will boast a whopping 44 tracks! Yes, 44! But you don’t get them all at once. Billy is letting you download them one at a time.
Smashing Pumpkins fans should be delighted to find that he’s playing rock as hard as ever.
Preview the five tracks in their entirety below. To download the tracks, cllick the little down arrow or head to SmashingPumpkins.com. Or, for CD-quality tracks, hit their Soundcloud page. At the moment, the single “Freak” can only be directly downloaded from their official site.
“Freak”
“A Song For A Son”
“A Stitch In Time”
“Astral Planes”
“Widow Wake My Mind”

Astral Planes is the weakest of the set, but still better than most stuff on Kroq. Freak should be played more, not to mention Song for a Son. I bet it’s not friendly enough for the station though.

downlad speed so much faster than anything youtube could ever offer us. plus A stich in time is the best song out of these but all this is very different to what billy used to do in the original pumpkins. i think those years were better

Awesome! New songs are fantastic, I’m really in to this era of the band. And, it’s about time they got the credit they deserve! Tired of Nirvana being at the top of everyone’s nostalgia.
Smashing Pumpkins is still alive AND making music!
