American Gothic released January 2, 2008! It is the 4th commercial EP from The Smashing Pumpkins, which Corgan considered as a continuation of 2007's Zeitgeist and "the state of our country". The EP includes 4 unreleased tracks recorded in the late 2007 break between tours at the Pass Studio in Los Angeles. In the US, the EP was released as an exclusive digital release on iTunes as part of a re-release of Zeitgeist, but it received a physical release internationally on February 11 and March 4 in Canada.

After playing "Again, Again, Again (The Crux)" in LA in late 2006 at an event organized by Pete Townshend's girlfriend, Corgan was asked by Townshend himself if the song was going to be on Zeitgeist. While the song did not make the album, Corgan always planned to release it in some form, resulting in its appearance on American Gothic.

Corgan said of the EP: "I had written a bunch of material during the residencies in Asheville and San Francisco [earlier this year], and fans kept asking us if we were gonna put any of that stuff out. iTunes came to us wanting to do something together, so it just felt right." He also stated that with the EP and new single "G.L.O.W.", the band "finally turned the corner... where it's starting to feel like our music again, and not theirs, whoever 'they' might be," referring to the band's choice to continue making music without a record label.

The EP contains 4 acoustic tracks that feature folk strumming, in what was a more polished production work in contrast to the band's previous acoustic music, which mostly consisted of demos. 7digital released a download-only "UK Tour Edition" on February 25 that features four bonus tracks, all recorded during the February 2008 European tour.

Consequence wrote: "If anything, Gothic is a step forward from Zeitgeist, in that there are hints … of that despair and angst that made ballads “Tonight, Tonight” and “Crush” so successful." TV New Zealand praised the EP: "I can't really say enough about this EP apart from to give it my full recommendation, I just wish it was longer."

American Gothic charted at #155 in the UK, #77 in Germany, and at #82 in Australia.
