theavc: After a while, we really got beaten down by corporate expectations, and as a result, I think we all just wanted to buck against that. It was like a creative straitjacket. Because when you’re signed to a record label, you have to run all your music through them, and they decide whether they will release it or not. After a while, you just want to scream, and hand them some really obscure, weird, obtuse, unmarketable music, but then of course they’d never release it. I think taking a hiatus was our reaction against that. We wanted to free ourselves of that straitjacket. Then, of course, years passed, and you start to feel creative again, and get excited about the notion of getting into a room with people you love, and making music. -Shirley Manson on the new Garbage record.

“Not Your Kind of People” Out Everywhere!

Dears, darklings, and little bones,

We made it. Our new album, the first in seven years, the first as our own record label, is now available all around the world for you to own.

It has been so wonderful to see so many new and old faces as we’ve started our tour–we’re so moved that you’ve stuck by us these years, and so happy that we can finally share this part of our 
adventure with you all.

You can pick up “Not Your Kind of People” at iTunes or visit our buy info page for other outlets in your region.

Hope you love it.
