Late in 2020 and again last year, the Pumpkins' had been dropping hints about the band's follow-up to 2020's CYR with the guitarist telling Audio Ink Radio that it is "basically, I guess, a sequel to ‘Mellon Collie [And The Infinite Sadness]’ and ‘Machina’, so it’s the third in a trilogy – more of a concept-based album. And this one is 33 songs."
Schroeder says in a new interview that the still-untitled record is now complete, adding there was "nothing [he] can give details on quite yet," but the Pumpkins would have "some pretty exciting announcements [to make] at some point during [their upcoming North American tour]."
Now that the record is done, the band is getting set to head out on the road for a string of 2022 tour dates kicking off with an appearance at the Beale Street Music Festival in Memphis, TN at end of April and running through the end of May.
