Aghori Mhori Mei brought in 70% of the vote on the poll, securing a notable edge ahead of new releases from Charli xcx featuring Billie Eilish (“Guess”), Kacey Musgraves (Deeper Into the Well), Justin Quiles (Permanente), Jack White (No Name), and others.
The Pumpkins’ 10-track Aghori Mhori Mei is the follow-up to last year’s three-act rock opera, ATUM. The new set was recorded in the midst of the veteran Chicago act’s busy touring schedule over the past few years.
“In the writing of this new album I became intrigued with the well-worn axiom, ‘you can’t go home again’,” guitarist/singer Corgan said in a statement. “Which I have found personally to be true in form but thought well, what if we tried anyway? Not so much in looking backwards with sentimentality but rather as a means to move forward; to see if in the balance of success and failure that our ways of making music circa 1990-1996 would still inspire something revelatory.”
Corgan called the two-plus hour, 33-song ATUM a sequel to Smashing Pumpkins’ 1995 classic double album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and 2000’s Machina/The Machines of God.
The mid-July announcement of Aghori Mhori arrived after the Pumpkins booked a run of fall tour dates in South and Latin America, marking the group’s first venture south in almost a decade. In addition, the trio — Corgan, James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlain — is currently on the road opening for Green Day on their Saviors tour, mixed in with headlining shows across the U.S. through September. The Latin American tour launches Nov. 1 in Brasilia, Brazil.
Trailing behind Smashing Pumpkins on this week’s poll is a remix of Charli xcx’s “Guess,” featuring featuring Billie Eilish. The track brought in 10% of the vote.
