Garbage’s critically acclaimed sixth studio album Strange Little Birds debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Rock Albums and Alternative Albums charts this week. The album arrived at No. 14 overall on the Billboard 200 chart. Additionally, lead single “Empty” debuted at No. 40 on Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart. Earlier this week the band returned to late night television to perform the song on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Watch the clip HERE. Strange Little Birds was released on Friday, June 10, via the band’s own STUNVOLUME Records. Recorded and produced by the band (Shirley Manson, Steve Marker, Duke Erikson, and Butch Vig) in Los Angeles, the album is available for purchase both physically HERE and digitally HERE. Watch their music video for the album’s single “Empty”, directed by longtime collaborator Samuel Bayer, HERE. Working initially in Vig’s basement and then at Red Razor Sounds in Los Angeles, Garbage drew on a variety of sources for Strange Little Birds, including the albums they loved growing up. Some will hear echoes of Garbage’s 1995 debut album in Strange Little Birds. Next month, Garbage will embark on their ‘Strange Little Birds’ U.S. tour in support of the new album. The dates will kick off on July 6th at Summerfest in Milwaukee and follow a run of European dates. Tickets are now available for purchase.

“Their darkest, most intimate LP and the band’s strongest effort in 15 years.” Pitchfork “The electronic rockers return with a sixth studio album as cool and caustic as their 1995 debut.” NME “In 2016, Garbage are a bloody triumph.” Consequence of Sound “20-plus years after forming, each band member is still fired up to mine new sounds and approaches for inspiration. That willingness to be uncomfortable and look beneath the surface makes Strange Little Birds a rousing success.” A.V. Club “Fearlessness has driven their creative renaissance.” Forbes |
