A new various-artists tribute to The Smashing Pumpkins, Sending Hearts To All My Dearies, has arrived with an unusually broad cast of contributors.
The title comes from a lyric in “Mayonaise,” and the project has been personally approved by Billy Corgan, giving the compilation a direct connection to the band it celebrates.
Tame Impala takes on “Hummer,” while other contributors include Barns Courtney, Alice Glass, Yonaka, The Midnight, Meg Myers and Carpenter Brut.
Dream-pop, industrial textures, synthwave production and heavier alternative styles all find room inside songs originally associated with 1990s guitar rock, creating a vital contemporary celebration.
