Release of American Gothic EP

Corgan and Chamberlin continued to record as a duo, releasing the four-song EP American Gothic in January 2008 and the singles ” Superchrist ” and ” G.L.O.W. ” later that year. That November, the group released the DVD If All Goes Wrong , which chronicled the group’s 2007 concert residences in Asheville, North Carolina and San Francisco, California. In late 2008, the band commenced on a controversy-riddled 20th Anniversary Tour. Around this time, Corgan said the group will make no more full-length records in order to focus exclusively on singles, explaining, “The listening patterns have changed, so why are we killing ourselves to do albums, to create balance, and do the arty track to set up the single? It’s done.”
