Smashing Pumpkins Smashing Tradition
Word is out on the street that the Smashing Pumpkins (a band I honestly haven’t thought about in a while) is going to stop releasing full albums and instead put out 3-4 song EP’s.
As PSFK points out:
“This format makes sense as singles have far replaced albums in digital sales. Why should an artist invest so much energy in a 10-15 song album on which they will be judged for the next 1-2 years? As album production costs have reduced substantially, artists could now start releasing new EPs every three to six months constantly feeding fans bite-sized doses of new material.”
I think this is a very smart approach to the changing landscape and I wouldn’t be surprised to see bands simply putting out songs one at a time.
