Last yr, Smashing Pumpkins introduced a characteristically bold new album, ATUM: A Rock Opera In Three Acts<\/em>. They shared the primary act from it again in November<\/a>, which was preceded by the one \u201cBeguiled<\/a>.\u201d \u201cBeguiled\u201d truly seems in act two of ATUM<\/em>, which drops in the present day and contains 10 different new tracks. <\/p>\n \u201cWhen I made Cyr<\/em>, it was like, \u2018Okay, let\u2019s do what we used to do,\u2019 which is do a real deep dive and see what we come up with,\u201d Billy Corgan mentioned in a current interview with Apple Music<\/a>. \u201cAnd I was very focused at that time on \u2026 not leaning on what we were known for but trying to find something new to say.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThen after I found something new to say on Cyr<\/em>, then it made sense to me to put the two pieces of what we\u2019re known for, and then what we found in recent times together, and that\u2019s where ATUM<\/em> comes out of,\u201d Corgan continued. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to explain, but the band always did well combining guitar rock with whatever we were on about at any given time.\u201d<\/p>\n Listen to ATUM \u2013 Act Two<\/em> beneath.<\/p>\n
