Garbage: Not Your Kind of People
16 May 2012 2:49 PM, PDT | Pastemagazine.com | See recent PasteMagazine news »
The prospect of Shirley Manson singing “This Little Light of Mine” certainly has wicked potential. The Garbage frontwoman folds that child’s hymn into the final minutes of “Beloved Freak,” the last song on Not Your Kind of People, the band’s fifth album and first in seven years. Rising out of post-Lilith Fair ‘90s alt-rock, the Scottish singer/songwriter brought an outlandish sensibility to that decade’s girl power movement, building on the edgier breakthroughs on Liz Phair and Pj Harvey. Manson sang about sex and power like she was the woman who inspired every Nine Inch Nails song, except instead of »
Garbage’s Shirley Manson on Ending the Hiatus, Hating Record Labels, and Dressing As Bette Davis
15 May 2012 6:00 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Shirley Manson cracks herself up, with a Scottish cackle that comes out of nowhere and knocks you on your ass. These days, Manson’s laughter comes easy, as she explains why it was time for her band, Garbage — which first found success in the post-Nirvana alt-rock boom of the mid-nineties — to get back to work following a seven-year hiatus. She spoke with Vulture about Garbage’s new album, Not Your Kind of People, going indie, why the nineties were better, and her penchant for dressing up as Bette Davis.Who initiated getting the band back together?Of course it's me, because I’m vocal and I'm so in touch with my desires and my wants. That's the way the dynamic has always been. [Laughs.] I called Butch [Vig] up first and said, “I want to make another record. Do you?” He said, “Yep!” I called Steve [Marker], he called Duke [Erikson], and we »

‘Blood for Poppies’ Video: Garbage Watched a Few Old Movies While They Were Gone
4 April 2012 7:30 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Even if you do not spend your free hours in the campus film archives watching old surrealist movies while wearing a beret, you may recognize the Un Chien Andalou–inspired scene in Garbage's "Blood for Poppies" video. It's the one where Shirley Manson's eyeball gets sliced like that old cow. The other references in "Blood for Poppies" are a little trickier, and Vulture won't presume to be able to I.D. them all (though we did think we saw a little Méliès in there, but maybe that's the Hugo talking). But the eyeball thing definitely happens! And it is very clear that Garbage spent the last however many years they've been on hiatus doing their Serious Movie homework. E for effort, guys. »

Listen: Garbage's new single, 'Blood for Poppies'
19 March 2012 9:59 AM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Garbage's new single, "Blood for Poppies" is a sonic slab that is instantly redolent of the band from its mid-2000s heyday, and yet at the same time, sounds completely new. Awash in synthesizers and guitar effects, the song also combines a slight reggae, slacker feel as Shirley Manson wonders "why they are calling on my radio/they know I'm here/just outtasight." The production, helmed by band members --including uber-producer Butch Vig-- is intense, especially during the echo-y breakdown in the middle about "staying alive." [More after the jump...] It turns out, the song was inspired by a few things and once you »
Garbage Has a New Song
15 March 2012 12:30 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Hey, Garbage is back! The nineties darlings are releasing a new record, Not Your Kind of People, in May, and the newly leaked "Blood for Poppies" is the first full track from the record. It sure does sound like a Garbage song. In a good way, we mean — a little morose, a little urgent, with a massively catchy refrain, and echoing, bouncy vocals from Shirley Manson. The last Garbage record came out seven years ago, but the last good Garbage record came out eleven years ago, so this really is like pouring a time warp right into your ear holes. »

Garbage to self-release comeback album on new label
23 January 2012 5:24 AM, PST | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Garbage have announced that they will self-release their comeback album via their own record label. The newly-reformed band, fronted by Shirley Manson, launch their as-yet untitled follow-up to 2005's Bleed Like Me this spring via Stunvolume. "We have had our fill of greedy corporate interest," the group said on their Facebook page. "We don't like how they do business. This time we are going to do it our way... Our aim is to put out music that is pure of heart." Garbage added: "Our intention is to make a great record that we have written, recorded and produced as a band. We intend to tell the truth. We are one. Even though it's hard." The band confirmed on Twitter: "All extra tracks for the deluxe album package off to mastering now. 16 new songs for your listening pleasure coming soon. (more) »
