Teargarden by Kaleidyscope Vol. II: The Solstice Bare Martha’s Music/Rocket Science Ventures [Three and a half stars]

Published by

For the 11-EP series Teargarden by Kaleidyscope, Billy Corgan says he’s returning to the Smashing Pumpkins’ “original psychedelic roots.” The second EP (Vol. I came out in May) is awesomely heavy, atmospheric and fuelled by a stoner-friendly concept: The lyrics were inspired by Tarot cards. “Are you with us or against us tonight?” Corgan croons on ”˜The Fellowship.’ We’re with you, man. Now pass the bong.

Key Tracks: ”˜Freak,’ ”˜The Fellowship’
