(1992)"Lull" is an EP released in 1991 by
The Smashing Pumpkins . Within the band, it is known as "the Rhinoceros single.""Rhinoceros" was taken from "
Gish " (but the feedback ending is cut here), "Blue" later appeared on "Pisces Iscariot " and a live version of "Slunk" later appeared on "Vieuphoria " and its soundtrack album "Earphoria "."Bye June" is a 1989 demo track, originally released on "Moon".
The liner notes include partial lyrics for the song "Obscured", written in cake frosting like the album cover. The song would eventually be released as a
b-side on the single for Today in 1993 and then on the b-side collection "Pisces Iscariot" in 1994. Obscured was originally intended byBilly Corgan to be on "Lull" but was dropped for reasons that are unclear.In the liner notes for "Pisces Iscariot", Billy Corgan wrote:
