Garbage is back. And the band’s sound is the same—but different. Not Your Kind Of People (StunVolume) is the quartet’s first album since 2005, and the distance has got Garbage’s creative juices flowing in exciting ways. First single “Blood For Poppies” has the same driving drums, ripping guitars and biting lyrics as earlier LPs but a poppier hook, while “Battle In Me” is much angrier and, well, Garbage-ier. Not Your Kind Of People is a great fusion of the old and the new—and after seven years of waiting, we are pretty psyched the band is back. The quartet will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com for two weeks, but for those of you who need more Garbage, read our 20 Questions feature with Shirley Manson and Butch Vig.
Marker: My daughter just turned 12 and just went to her first school dance. A lot of the music was Skrillex, the rest was Otis Redding and then some metal, then some Motown, and they danced to all of it because they liked it, without judgment. How cool is that? Whoever is going to rewrite the future, they’ve got the best color pallet yet, and I can’t wait to see what they end up painting. Let’s bring it on.
