The Smashing Pumpkins continue to tease their highly anticipated eleventh studio album ‘CYR,’ with two brand new tracks Wyttch and Ramona. The latter comes with an official music video.
Historically dynamic, Wyttch delves into the band’s heavier and darker leanings, serving as a welcomed reminder why so many subscribe to The Smashing Pumpkins’ continual innovation and unwillingness to remain the same or be pegged into one genre or era.

Ahead of their Friday, November 27 double-album release, also comes Ramona, a gentler, synth-soaked track accompanied with an official music video directed by Linda Strawberry and featuring founding band-members Billy Corgan, James Iha, Jimmy Chamberlin and guitarist Jeff Schroeder. The video is a surreal gothic-western inspired love-story.
In the lead up to the release of CYR, fans can also purchase high quality CYR merchandise, including limited edition CYR beanies, tee’s, special ORCHID COLOR STANDARD VINYL, exclusive LIMITED EDITION PURBLE MARBLE VINYL, plus a limited edition collector’s CYR DELUXE BOX SET, featuring exclusive black-ice vinyl, a photo-book, art prints and posters.
