The April 12, 2019 to February 11, 2020 Pumpkinland II sessions were for Shiny and Oh So Bright Vol. 2: CYR. Originally planned to be released across two volumes due to the amount of songs but later condensed into one, with Vol. 3 becoming a whole different project.

Approximately 24 songs were worked on during the sessions, with 21 being fully recorded, the best from the previous months' demo sessions. A few songs originated from the Day for Night sessions.

The drum track recording sessions came first from April through May. Billy Corgan returned for additional studio work in July and August to record bass, guitar and synths. Vocals and overdubs were recorded in between tour breaks through the last months of the year.

Background vocals from Katie Cole and Sierra Swan were to follow. Cole wrote most of the backing vocal arrangements, sharing them with Corgan over email before recording sessions began.[1]
