‘Strange Little Birds,’ out on 10th June, is the sixth studio album by Garbage. The album, produced by the band, is the follow up to 2012’s heralded ‘Not Your Kind of People.’ Working initially in drummer, Butch 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. “The guiding principle was keeping it fresh, and relying on instinct both lyrically and musically”, said frontwoman Shirley Manson. ‘Strange Little Birds’ is “less fussed over” than anything Garbage has ever made. “We fell in love with immediacy,” adds Vig. The album includes the brand new single, ‘Empty.’

Some will hear echoes of Garbage’s 1995 debut album in ‘Strange Little Birds’ — including Manson herself. “To me, this record, funnily enough, has the most to do with the first record, rather than any of the previous records,” she says. “It’s getting back to that beginner’s headspace. In part, that’s a result of not having anyone to answer to.”

Garbage has sold over 12 million albums worldwide and performed in over thirty-five countries. Last year the band celebrated its 20th anniversary with their SOLD OUT ‘20 Years Queer’ world tour and the release of a special 20th anniversary edition of their debut album, re-mastered and featuring previously unreleased material.
