The latest batch of tracks from the 44-song project are Freak, The Fellowship, Tom Tom and Spangled, plus Cottonwood Symphony, which is an unreleased B-side track.
Some of the songs can already be downloaded free online, and all are available for purchase from tomorrow as a limited edition CD and 12” vinyl picture disc in a 1970s wallpaper motif box.
Vocalist Billy Corgan told Mixdown magazine last month that releasing the songs online, one at a time, has been inspiring for him as an artist.
“I took it on as a challenge,” he said. “Slowly it’s evolved into, ‘Can I keep upping the ante with each release?’ And that’s exciting.”
Corgan said he has written around half of the songs but is reconsidering the band’s style since its recent regrouping.
“We’re sort of back into a dynamic rock outfit,” he told Mixdown. “So that opens up my mind. It brings the musicianship back into the equation in a way that maybe it hasn’t been in a while.”
The band is currently on tour and played at the Planeta Terra Festival in Brazil on Saturday. They will continue on to Chile tomorrow, then Peru and Colombia, before returning to the United States to tour in early December.
