Monuments to an Elegy is the ninth studio album by The Smashing Pumpkins, released on December 9, 2014. It was recorded in Chicago with Billy Corgan and Jeff Schroeder as lead guitarists, without the participation of original drummer Jimmy Chamberlin.
The album was originally conceived as part of a two-disc project titled Day for Night, but was eventually released separately. Corgan described the sound as more direct and pop, with influences from alternative rock and electronic music.
It received mixed reviews; some praised its accessibility, while others criticized its brevity (32 minutes). The lead single, Being Beige, had moderate performance on US alternative charts.
