The all-new Billy Corgan Smashing Pumpkins song is called `A Song For A Son` and Corgan has made it available as a free download.The new Smashing Pumpkins project will be a 44-song epic titled ‘Teargarden By Kaleidyscope’. The project will be 11 x 4 track EPs rolled out over the next three years.
Corgan, the only original member left standing in the band, issued a statement in the last 24 hours stating that Smashing Pumpkins will tour ‘Teargarden By Kalidyscope’ through 2010. A SXSW showcase has been suggested.
“The version of the song from the 20th anniversary tour was pretty basic, and I felt at the time that we didn’t really find the heart of the song,” Corgan says. “However, the song was connecting to the audience emotionally so I knew something exciting was in there to be discovered. The recorded version is produced more like a movie, where it takes you to different places, from intimate to psychedelic to whimsical.”
