The Smashing Pumpkins have released “Black Stars,” a new song included on the soundtrack for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. Announcing the track on Instagram, they said they are “grateful to be casting our spell” on the upcoming film’s soundtrack.
Most notably, “Black Stars” marks a reunion between the Smashing Pumpkins and Butch Vig, who produced two of their early albums — 1991’s Gish and 1993’s Siamese Dream. Earlier this year, vocalist Billy Corgan teased on a livestream that they worked on a song with Vig.
