SHINY AND OH SO BRIGHT, VOL. 1 / LP: NO PAST. NO FUTURE. NO SUN.

The Smashing Pumpkins

A concise, surprisingly warm reunion record. Shimmering guitars and dry, intimate production replace the band's signature wall of sound with melodic clarity.

November 16, 2018 · Napalm Records

A warm, late-career clarity that trades youthful angst for melodic grace and veteran chemistry.

Moments Worth Listening For
The gospel-tinged backing vocals and bright piano chords that open Knights of Malta, signaling a surprisingly sunny departure.
The driving, melodic bassline of Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts) that evokes the band's mid-90s pop sensibilities without the heavy fuzz.
The sudden, aggressive shift into a classic Jimmy Chamberlin drum fill during the bridge of Marchin' On.
