Description

2LP Vinyl (Purple) – SUM1377

11th Studio album from Smashing Pumpkins. Corgan’s creative juices went into overdrive as he mapped out not one, but two double albums in ‘CYR’ (officially the follow-up to ‘Shiny And Oh So Bright’) and a forthcoming sequel to the landmark 1995 double album ‘Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness’. While the pseudo-spiritual artwork may bear some similarity to that of its predecessor, ‘CYR’ is an entirely different monster. Driven by Corgan’s love for artists on Chicago indie label Wax Trax! Records – launched in the late ’70s and big in the ’80s and ’90s, its roster included the likes of Underworld and The KLF – ‘CYR’ is arguably the Pumpkins’ most poppy and immediate album in a storied career.
