Apparently Kill Hannah has heard some of the new album
 

I'm not sure if this is old news but I thought you guys might be interested:

Sorry ... i pressed enter by accident...

Very few bands from Chicago have made it to "Pink Floyd status," but Kill Hannah call themselves friends with that city’s number one music son who has achieved that: Smashing Pumpkins’ lead singer Billy Corgan.

"We just had dinner with him in L.A. four days ago," Mat tells me. Before the show, Hannah sound master Ben told me that Hannah had heard some new tracks from the reunited Pumpkins and so I decide to plumb for details.

"We heard two tracks with no vocals. Just one guitar and drums," he describes to me. "I’d say just the very floor plan of two songs and they both sound pretty epic. The two songs could be… I’d say they probably have the intelligence of the [Machina - the Machines of God] record but the accessibility of [Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness]. So I think it’s going to be just what a fan would want."

sounds good to me!

wow. so billy and jimmy are just recording with themselves only? interesting. i wonder if they're still narrowing down choices for the rest of the band, or if billy would do like he did with siamese dream and just record the entire album himself.

thats funny, "intelligence of machina". i dont think id hear anything and think, "you know what, this might just be just as clever as machina!!!!111" good to here any sort of reference to MCIS though.

Chances are they're just going to Siamese it, and Billy will do all Guitars and Bass himself.

nice avatar!

Machina had more sophisticated arrangements than Mellon Collie did....that's just my opinion but I think that's what Mat meant.

Yeah bro! It's the flag of the forthcoming SP revolution!

del

"accessible" ughh

man i can't help but think this is going to be another Mary Star of the Sea scenario.

saying it that way wouldve made more sense, but i see what he means now.

God willing!

Maybe Billy's waiting on James, and recording his and Jimmy's parts until a confirmation comes.

this thread is good if only for bringing these two things -

'He's gonna Siamese it'
'intelligence of Machina'

or James could be literally phoning it in. It's not unheard of.

"Intelligence of Machina", what the fuck does that mean?

probably more music theory applied in terms of machina's level of sophisication in arrangments etc

more zero less hero

fuck kill hannah

interesting stuff

thanks for sharing!

Kill Hannah discussing Smashing Pumpkins doesn't sit well with me. Fuck those people for labeling this shit machina/mcis.

this is how it is

leak plz

do you think the liner notes will still say "The Smashing Pumpkins are Billy Corgan, James Iha, D'arcy and Jimmy Chamberlin" or whatever?

that would be scandalous

holy shit... :(

How can these people give any sort of good description if they only heard one guitar track and one drum track with no vocals.

Does this mean they are recording in LA or mixing there ?

if the songs are still that barren they can't possibly have an album out by january.
especially if Roy is producing i thought that guy liked to put one million guitar tracks on each song.

what the fuck ?

So you're saying that artwork pic could be fake?

Right on!

well then why not show off one of your nicely completed tracks to make KIll Hannah Feel like shit ?

I'm just bitching because the decriptions given in the interview are totally useless.

Oh, right.

Well that's not bad news.

Machina "intelligence" (how pretentious) combined with an updated MCIS-like production would be nice. I was not fond of Machina's extremely loud drowned out kind of feel. They should've made it sound like the Machina live show or some of their Machina b-sides. That would have been ace.

Well, this albums gonna suck.

wut

That's not SP. Jimmy plays better than that. As does Billy.

Nice jam though. By... whoever this is.

Effloresce is your sn from Oceansize? if so...gooood band

Yep. :)

I can't believe Effloresce didn't take off... it's such a great great album :(
