The Smashing Pumpkins have paired their latest single “Wyttch,” off their upcoming double-album Cyr, with a new video.
Following the gothic spaghetti Western video for “Ramona,” the Charlotte Kemp Muhl-directed “Wyttch” is a more homespun affair, with costumed revelers — including a Nosferatu-like Billy Corgan — grooving to the Pumpkins’ moody Cyr track.
The “Wyttch” video continues the Smashing Pumpkins’ steady stream ofCyractivity prior to the album’s November 27th release, including“Anno Satana” and “Birch Grove,”“Confessions of a Dopamine Addict,” and “Wrath,”as well as thetitle track and “The Colour of Love.”
The album is accompanied by the band’s five-part animated series,In Ashes; most recently, Corgan and company released the third episode, soundtracked by Cyr’s “Anno Satana.”
The Smashing Pumpkins also recently revealed that the band is next at work on a sequel album to their 1995 classic Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, with a 25th-anniversary tour also planned, pending the coronavirus pandemic. Corgan added that the sequel LP will likely arrive in 2021.
