"Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts)" released September 14, 2018! It is the second single from The Smashing Pumpkins' tenth studio album, 'Shiny and Oh So Bright - Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun.' It was recorded with Rick Rubin in early 2018.
The music video, released October 15, 2018, was directed by Corgan himself and produced by long-time Smashing Pumpkins collaborator Linda Strawberry. Fans of the band were recruited as extras for the video. It features Mark McGrath of the rock band Sugar Ray playing the role of DJ Jackie Cherry, who has recruited the band to promote a Halloween haunted house charity event. The band must survive the night at the house to win the money for charity. Each member is visited by apparent ghosts and demonic creatures, including members of Drab Majesty, before it is revealed that Corgan is in control of all the preceding events that unfolded.
Rolling Stone was positive about "Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts)", describing it as having "bright melodies" and that it was reminiscent of the band's hit single "1979". Uproxx said the song "finds the band recapturing some of their past glory" and that Corgan's delivery is "melodic and accessible".
"Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts)" peaked at #38 on the US Alternative Airplay, at #41 on the Rock Airplay chart, and at #46 on Canada's Rock chart.
