The Smashing Pumpkins original lineup (minus D'Arcy Wretzky) have been in the studio working on brand new material. Billy Corgan updated fans on their progress in the studio with a posting today on Instagram. Corgan reveals they've recorded eight songs and hope to release the material via two four-song EPs later this year, with the first song likely coming in May. He also told fans to keep an eye out for an feature/interview that will be published shortly in the New York Times.

The Smashing Pumpkins hit the road for the Shiny and Oh So Bright tour this summer. Tickets for the August 5th stop at Little Caesars Arena are available to purchase here.
"So almost all the musical side is done with 2 days to go, leaving background vocals and last minute touches/flourishes/drang. For those who missed it, the 8 songs are as titled: Solara, Marchin' On, Travels, Seek and You Shall Destroy, With Sympathy, Knights of Malta, Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts), and Alienation. The intended plan being to release the songs over two, four song E.P.'s, with a first song most likely due out in May.
Also, we just did a long-ranging interview for the New York Times, which given the questions asked will address many of the things we get asked about here on IG. So look out for that soon..Tra la...."
