Garbage Announce First New Album In 7 Years To Be Released In May

“ ...this is a lightning in a bottle moment for us. We know it. Hope you feel it too.
” Garbage Garbage is back and better than ever! The rock band recently announced via their website that they have completed recording their first album in 7 years!

Not Your Kind Of People will be released on May 15th, and the band released a behind-the-scenes video expressing how stoked they are to share new music with long-time fans. “Thinking about going back on the road is both thrilling and terrifying in equal measure,” said Shirley Manson. “………but we’ve always enjoyed a little pain mixed in with our pleasure.”

Garbage’s first self-titled album, released in 1995, was a smash hit, featuring the Buzz favorites, “Only Happy When It Rains,” and “Stupid “ The new album is a bit like our earlier stuff...there's the same kind of adventurism we took with the first two albums.
” Girl.” And I can’t fail to mention songs like “I Think I’m Paranoid,” “Special,” and “When I Grow Up” from their 1998 album, Version 2.0. The band is proclaiming that their upcoming fifth studio-album, Not Your Kind Of People, has the same overall feel as their first two albums. Bassist Duke Erikson says, “The new album is a bit like our earlier stuff…there’s the same kind of adventurism we took [with the first two albums].”

Drummer Butch Vig says, “I think the album is very optimistic. For us part of it comes from the fact is that we would go out for a while and when we came back and started writing it felt so free and so easy. In Shirley’s lyrics there’s anger and intensity, but there’s also optimism and hope.”

Vocalist Shirley Manson was a pivotal force for women in rock during the ’90s, as she exuded both beauty and grunge almost effortlessly. In an interview with V Magazine earlier this month, Manson described being back in the spotlight and reunited with the band, saying, “There’s something remarkable about that feeling, when you know you’re good at something and you’re able to go out and do it.”

Not Your Kind of People will be available May 15th. No word yet on a track listing, or song releases, but Garbage does plan to go on a world tour in support of the upcoming album. So far, only European dates are announced via their website, but stay tuned for more! Can’t wait to hear new music from the band!
