The frontman took to Instagram to update fans about the new music, explaining that “the musical side is done,” with only “background vocals and last minute touches/flourishes/drang” to go.

The two EPs will have four songs each, with the first single due out in May. Corgan also re-posted the track titles he revealed back in February, but did not specify which songs would be on which EP.

Tracklist:
“Solara”
“Marchin' On”
“Travels”
“Seek and You Shall Destroy”
“With Sympathy”
“Knights of Malta”
“Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts)”
“Alienation”

Last month, Corgan seemingly confirmed the news that the band were recording a reunion album(s), explaining that he was in the studio with Rick Rubin.

Read Corgan's full statement below:

 

SP update: So almost all the musical side is done with 2 days to go, leaving background vocals and last minute touches/flourishes/drang. For those who missed it, the 8 songs are as titled: Solara, Marchin' On, Travels, Seek and You Shall Destroy, With Sympathy, Knights of Malta, Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts), and Alienation. The intended plan being to release the songs over two, four song E.P.'s, with a first song most likely due out in May. Also, we just did a long-ranging interview for the New York Times, which given the questions asked will address many of the things we get asked about here on IG. So look out for that soon..Tra la…. @smashingpumpkins
