Gish

Smashing Pumpkins

Digitally remastered edition of the Alt-Rock quartet’s 1991 debut album.

Gish, the debut album by The Smashing Pumpkins, was released in 1991 and is often credited with helping to shape the alternative rock scene of the 1990s.

The album blends heavy guitar riffs with psychedelic undertones, creating a unique sound that set the band apart from their contemporaries.

Produced by Butch Vig, Gish features a raw yet polished sound, with Billy Corgan’s distinctive vocals and guitar work taking center stage.

Tracks like I Am One and Siva showcase the band’s ability to merge aggression with melody, while songs like Rhinoceros and Crush display a more introspective and atmospheric side.

Gish didn’t achieve mainstream success upon its release but has since gained recognition as a seminal album in the alternative rock genre.

Its influence can be seen in the work of countless bands that followed.

The album’s themes of personal struggle, spirituality, and emotional complexity resonated with listeners and helped establish The Smashing Pumpkins as one of the most innovative bands of the decade.

Although overshadowed by the band’s later success with albums like Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, Gish remains a significant milestone in their discography.

Features ‘I Am One’, ‘Rhinoceros’, ‘Siva’ and more.
