Garbage discuss nerdy new album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 19 October 2011
Never mind The Stone Roses getting back together, what of Garbage and their illustrious reunion? The band have spoken to Spin.com about what’s to be their first album since 2005’s ‘Bleed Like Me’, setting a vague release target for spring of next year.
Singer Shirley Manson said that while the new LP differs sonically from Garbage’s eponymous 1995 debut, much of the spirit behind making it was the same. “There’s an energy there that is, I think, reminiscent of the first record; a sort of hungriness is there”, she said. “The overriding themes are pretty much about being a misfit, a geek, a nerd, a forgotten-about, in a way. It is really ironic because when the band initially started taking off, I thought, ‘Wow, I’m no longer a geek! I’m cool! I’m hip! I’m popular!’ And of course, the feelings never went away”.
