Billy Corgan Debuts Two New Smashing Pumpkins Songs

(Radio.com) Orange is the new black - or something like it, according to Billy Corgan. The Smashing Pumpkins frontman debuted two new songs over the weekend, dubbed "Burnt Orange Black" and "Methuselah."

Corgan performed the songs at his hometown Chicago's Ravinia Festival, calling the hit Netflix show-recalling track a "tasty, pre-holiday treat." Which is an apt description if your palate prefers slow-burning, grunge-steeped guitar songs.

"Methuselah," on the other hand, was a more daintily-picked guitar-driven track. The song, named for the longest-living man in the Hebrew Bible, was fittingly written a long time ago. Corgan wrote the track around the time of the band's 1995 sessions for their seminal album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

The tracks could presumably appear one of the Smashing Pumpkins' two upcoming albums, Monuments to an Elegy and Day for Night, which will follow up their massive Adore reissue later this month and 2012's Oceania.
