Info for Let All That We Imagine Be The Light

Garbage are releasing their new album "Let All That We Imagine Be the Light". The follow-up to 2021’s No Gods No Masters. The band recorded the new album at Los Angeles’ Red Razor Sounds, Butch Vig’s home studio, and in singer Shirley Manson’s bedroom. The engineer Billy Bush produced the new album.

“Going into making this record, I was determined to find a more hopeful, uplifting world to immerse myself in,” Manson said in a press release. “The title of the album, Let All That We Imagine Be the Light, is the perfect descriptor for this new record as a whole. When things feel dark it feels imperative to seek out forces that are light, positive and beautiful in the world. It almost feels like a matter of life and death. A strategy for survival.”

Garbage consists of all four original band members, Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker, and Butch Vig. Over the 30 years since their inception in 1995 they have sold over 20 million albums. Their upcoming record was produced by the band and long-time engineer Billy Bush.

Reflecting on the new album, Manson added: "This record is about what it means to be alive, and about what it means to face your imminent destruction. It’s hopeful. It’s very tender towards what it means to be a human being.

"Our flaws and our failures are still beautiful, even though we’re taught that they’re not. This is a tender, thrilling record about the fragility of life."

Garbage

The bands self-titled debut was released in 1995 and was soon getting rave reviews in the press, so much so that MTV named them as best Breakthrough artist at the MTV Europe Music Awards in 1996.

They released their second album Version 2.0 in 1998 and went on another 18 month worldwide tour. Version 2.0 finished 1998 as the 8th best selling album of the year (Worldwide). In 1999 the band was picked to record the theme tune to the 19th James Bond film The World Is Not Enough.

In 2001 the band issued beautifulgarbage, the sound was very different to the previous 2 records which helped account for poorer sales than the previous two. However it did introduce the band to some new fans around the world.

The band returned in 2003 with the release of Bleed Like Me. This album should have sold way more than it did. It has some awesome tracks on it such as Metal Heart and the title track itself. Nearing the end of the 2005 tour the band took a break.

In 2007 the band issued a “best of” album called Absolute Garbage which featured 2 new tracks Tell Me Where It Hurts and a Garbage remix of It’s all over but the Crying.

In 2011 the band returned with a cover of U2’s Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses. 2012 however is where all the action will be. They return with their 5th studio album, release a new single and head out on tour once again.

This album contains no booklet.
