Smashing Pumpkins Releasing All 44 Tracks From "Teargarden by Kaleidyscope" For Free
Category new music distributionLast year, Billy Corgan announced on the Smashing Pumpkins official site that the reorganized Smashing Pumpkins are planning on releasing a monsterous new LP of 44 tracks entitled Teargarden by Kaleidyscope. But, rather than having fans wait for the release of the entire set, the Pumpkins are offering the songs free to download from their website as they are released.
My desire is to release a song at a time beginning around Halloween of this year, with each new release coming shortly after until all 44 are out. Each song will be made available absolutely for free, to anyone anywhere. There will be no strings attached. Free will mean free, which means you won’t have to sign up for anything, give an email address, or jump through a hoop. You will be able to go and take the song or songs as you wish, as many times as you wish.”
The plan will be to also release limited edition 4 song EPs of the music. Doing the math that gives us a total of 11 EPs, with a boxed set to be released as well. But don't expect the boxed set to be the 11 EPs just repackaged. Corgan says "the box set will not be a recompilation of the limited edition pieces."
Currently there are 2 tracks on the Pumpkins's site; a track called "Widow Wake My Mind" and one called "A Song For A Son".
