Shirley Manson, Steve Marker, Duke Erikson and Butch Vig will release Strange Little Birds, their sixth studio album, on June 10 on the band’s own label STUNVOLUME.
The band recently shared the title via Twitter, and today released the track listing and artwork. The album, produced by the band, is the follow up to 2012’s heralded Not Your Kind of People.
Working initially in Vig’s basement and then at Red Razor Sounds in Los Angeles, Garbage drew on a variety of sources, from their recent fan letters back to the albums they loved growing up.
Edinburgh born lead singer Shirley Manson said: “The guiding principle was keeping it fresh, and relying on instinct both lyrically and musically."
Strange Little Birds is “less fussed over” than anything Garbage has ever made. “We fell in love with immediacy,” added Vig. Shirley said. “To me, this record, funnily enough, has the most to do with the first record than any of the previous records. It’s getting back to that beginner’s headspace. In part, she says, that’s a result of not having anyone to answer to.”
Garbage will perform at various festivals and headline shows across Europe this summer.
