If no one has gotten the opportunity to hear it yet, Spinner.com is streaming the brand new Smashing Pumpkins single, Tarantula. The single is simple, straightforward early 90’s rock sounding, far different then the techno-y sounding albums that came out towards the end of the decade. Being a 90’s rock junkie, I couldn’t be any happier with what I’m hearing.
I liked this song right away, and am really looking forward to the new album and hope to see the Pumpkins live.
The song is a lot like something from the second album, but the vocals are way down in the mix. Also, Billy may have been influenced by the great Jack White–on first listen, I thought the second guitar was a harmonica! Very cool.
