The Smashing Pumpkins Releases Horror Inspired 'Solara' Video

The Smashing Pumpkins have released a music video for their new single, "Solara," and you might sleep with one eye open tonight after watching it.
​
The video, directed by Nick Koenig, features classic horror imagery. The visual finds lead singer Billy Corgan being held captive in a bizarre asylum where he receives dosages of trauma from an IV and watches other inmates play the game Connect Four with solely black pieces. He later wanders into a mime giving birth to an imaginary baby while being watched over by heavily armed mimes.

The Pumpkins' Shiny and Oh So Bright North American tour kicks off on July 12.
