Alt-rockers Garbage have announced that they will be releasing their sixth studio album Strange Little Birds on June 10th through their own record label Stunvolume.
Vocalist Shirley Manson explains, “The guiding principle was keeping it fresh, and relying on instinct both lyrically and musically. 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 that’s a result of not having anyone to answer to.”
Drummer Butch Vig simply adds, “We fell in love with immediacy.”
The band released the title and track list today but haven’t released a single. That’s why I put “Automatic Systematic Habit” above, because it’s from their previous album, 2012’s Not Your Kind of People, and because it’s catchy as hell!
Tracklist:
1. Sometimes
2. Empty
3. Blackout
4. If I Lost You
5. Night Drive Loneliness
6. Even Though Our Love Is Doomed
7. Magnetized
8. We Never Tell
9. So We Can Stay Alive
10. Teaching Little Fingers To Play
