Garbage Returns With New Album And New Single “There’s No Future In Optimism”

Legendary quartet Garbage has announced a new album Let All That We Imagine Be The Light will be released May 30th and shared the first single; There’s No Future In Optimism.

“Going into making this record, I was determined to find a more hopeful, uplifting world to immerse myself in.” says frontwoman Shirley Manson. “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”. 

Manson says about the new single “I really wanted that song to open the album. It starts out with an anthemic call to arms, a clarion call. It’s pretty much a rallying cry to all likeminded people. If you are interested in meeting this world with love, if you are willing to invest in tenderness and not violence or hate, then we are with you. You should come with us.

Garbage is will tour this fall with guests Starcrawler with a stop in Boston September 18th.
