Insufficient Funds is a weekly post in which we feature a free, or very close to it, piece of media that you can enjoy without overdrafting your bank account. So if you're low on funds, stay tuned to Cerebral Pop every Friday morning.
You might not think so highly of Billy Corgan and his musical whims, or the constantly evolving Smashing Pumpkins line-up. To a lot of people, the reforming of his most well-known project seemed a vain attempt at recapturing the spotlight, especially since not all the former band members were on board. And their first new release, Zeitgeist, was criticized as being a little shallow. But if you didn't like Zeitgeist for it's dependence on straight-forward rock, your answer may be on the way.
Teargarden by Kaleidyscope is the band's newest endeavor, and it is certainly a lofty one. They plan to release 44 songs, one at a time, for free on their site. The songs will be compiled and sold as 4-song EPs as they are released, and then all 44 will be put into a deluxe box set, apparently packed with extras.
While Zeitgeist was all rock, the first six releases we've seen from Teargarden already (as well as the artwork) seem to point to the entire project hearkening back to their more psychedelic sound. There has already been a piano ballad, A Song for a Son, and an entirely acoustic and keyboard-laced tune, A Stitch in Time. So if Zeitgeist wasn't your thing, this project might be right up your alley, and with all of it being completely free you might as well give it a shot.
You can download all six of the currently released songs for free on their website, as well as all future ones, or give them a listen and download the ones you like below.
