Aghori Mhori Mei is the thirteenth studio album by The Smashing Pumpkins. It was announced on July 19, 2024 after being added to the band's Spotify without notice, featuring the ability to pre-save the album and a countdown to its release. The album was released digitally on August 2, 2024, through Martha's Music and Thirty Tigers.[3][4]

The album was written and recorded over a two-year period and is billed as a "rock and roll guitar record".[1] The album had no singles prior to release.[5]

Background and development

In December 2022, drummer Jimmy Chamberlin posted through his official Instagram account that the band were "back in the studio".[2] In May 2023, Billy Corgan announced that the band had already began work on a follow album to the triple album Atum: A Rock Opera in Three Acts (2022–2023). The band initially recorded 20 songs for the album with Corgan wanting to put out a record with "somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 to 12 songs".[5] Corgan described the album a "straight up rock and roll guitar record" and stated that "it very much sounds like the ‘Siamese Dream’ / ‘Mellon Collie’ version of the band.[5]

In June 2024, Corgan gave an update on the band having worked on the album for "almost two years now". He described the pressure of recording new material to deadlines, stating that "It's not healthy, but I've gotten used to it through the years". He reiterated that "It's very much a rock, guitar record, old school" and that "old-school fans will be happy, for once".[1]

Promotion and release

The album was released on August 2, 2024, through Martha's Music and will be distributed digitally through streaming services and digital storefronts initially.[6] Physical copies of the album will be released in the future on exclusive edition Vinyl through frontman Billy Corgan's tea room Madame ZuZu's.[3] Corgan announced that no singles would be released prior to the album's release, explaining that the band "had to give the knee many times to what is the first song and what is the first statement and let other people judge us by one moment in time. We felt the right way to hear this record was an intact body of work".[7]
