Garbage - No Gods No Masters

[xOJakeXo]

"No Horses" is out July 14th. Listen to a preview



The band has been in the studio for a while now so hopefully the full album details are announced alongside the single.

 

[kaushik]

That was quick. Can't listen to the preview, but I'm glad they're releasing an album soon.. I just hope they rework Pedals.

 

[DoggySwami]

I'm glad they are releasing a new album so soon, as I never really connected with Strange Little Birds.

 

[Sprockrooster]

Oh wow. Didnot see it coming. Not sure if so fast is a good thing.

 

[Andy French]

YES

 

[GimmeWork]

WOW that was fast! I'm not complaining because more Garbage is NEVER a bad thing! I hope we get a classic Garbage sound or something new and not just a bunch of Strange Little Birds B-sides.

 

[Ferk]

Damn that was quick. So excited. I bought all the remastered albums earlier this year and really fell back in love with them all over again. And the last album was pretty great. 'Empty' ended up becoming one of my favorite songs by them ever.

 

[AshleyKerwin]

Yay, this is great to see! They usually take their time and I was surprised to read this.

 

[tripmywire]

I'm told this may be a stand-alone song or an EP to coincide with the tour. They are working on the 7th record but not sure if this is for it.

 

[AshleyKerwin]

What kind of iconic pre rate promotion.

 

[kaushik]

Can everyone tell them to rework and release Pedals, please?

 

[RHOPJ]

I think Strange Little Birds is one of their best albums and hopefully this album continues to be in line with the quality of that record.

 

[heartmightmelt]

Hold the bus, it's one song to be released alongside the Blondie tour. They've started working on new material, but knowing Garbage it'll be 2019 before its out. And they're working on a Version 20.0 anniversary package/possible tour too.

 

[digitalkaiser]

Version 20.0 anniversary package/possible tour too.

DESTROY ME PLEASE.
I hope this inspires them to channel some of the sounds they visited on that album for new material and also I WOULD DIE to see a Version 2.0 anniversary tour. Looking forward to the Blondie/Garbage track.

 

[kaushik]

And they're working on a Version 20.0 anniversary package/possible tour too.

Are we sure they're doing this? I've been craving for this ever since they did the 20 year anniversary for their first album. I hope they do it for BeautifulGarbage as well

 

[man.tis.shrimp]

This is an oddly swift turnaround.

From http://bestsellermagazine.com/news/Alt-Rock-Queen-Garbage’s-Shirley-Manson/

OT: Do you have plans for a new album, or are you staying focused on the tour and still enjoying the success of 2016’s Strange Little Birds?

SM: We had a week session about a month ago where we came up with a nucleus of about five new songs, and our hope is that we get to release one of those songs to come out in tandem with the Rage and Rapture tour because we feel it would be just great to have a new piece of music out at the same time as this momentous occasion.

OT: Can you tell me a little bit about the song you plan to release?

SM: It’s actually a vision into the future. [Laughs] It’s a dystopian tragedy. [Laughs harder] It has all the elements that you would expect from us, but it’s more of a piece rather than a pop song. It’s an imagining into a dystopian future and what that would mean for us all. [Laughs] It’s dark. Let’s leave it at that.{/quote]

 

[heartmightmelt]

Butch has said he's been going through the V2.0 archives, and Billy Bush has tweeted about working with ProTools to safely open sessions saved back on the software in 1997. I'd be VERY surprised if nothing comes from that, even though it's not likely to appear before May 2018.

The tour, they discussed at the Q+A in London last year - they have deliberately not played many V2.0 songs this last tour because they are saving them for a Version 2.0 anniversary tour.

 

[heartmightmelt]

I WOULD DIE to see a Version 2.0 anniversary tour.

Cause I'm such an obsessive, I even calculated that playing EVERY V2.0 track, b-side, plus The World Is Not Enough, Supernatural (their cover song from that tour), PLUS two bonus other-era tracks, would still clock in at 90 mins, leaving plenty of time for Shirley chat onstage. The 20 Years Queer shows were all two hours long, and Shirley took time to talk about every b-side, as well as a few other extended monologues throughout.

 

[Andy French]

It’s actually a vision into the future. [Laughs] It’s a dystopian tragedy. [Laughs harder]

I love that I heard this perfectly in her voice in my head.
