American rock band Garbage is back with new eighth studio album «Let All That We Imagine Be The Light», releasing on May 30th, 2025 via BMG.

«Let All That We Imagine Be The Light» is unmistakably Garbage. All the hallmarks and signatures for which they are known are present here. Big angular guitars, precise, propulsive beats and cinematic soundscapes all lurk beneath Shirley Manson’s expressive voice, her lyrics bristling with attitude. It is the sound of a group at the peak of their creative powers - characteristically harnessing sonic juxtapositions and moods to create an album that thrums equally with both light and shade.

It's the band's second studio album released via BMG. The album represents a shift in themes compared to the band's previous record, being less socio-political and more optimistic, as also reflected by its title.

«Going into making this record, I was determined to find a more hopeful, uplifting world to immerse myself in. The title of the album, Let All That We Imagine Be The Light is a perfect, headline statement for the record as a whole. When things feel dark it feels imperative to seek out the forces that are light, positive and beautiful in the world. It almost feels like a matter of life and death. A strategy for survival.»

Album was recorded at Red Razor Sounds in Los Angeles, Butch Vig’s studio Grunge Is Dead, and Shirley Manson’s bedroom. The record was produced by the band and longtime engineer Billy Bush. Bush would record the band jamming and then the band would proceed into editing down the long jam sessions into songs.

«We sort of take those jams and we'll start to edit them down into what we think is, 'this part's cool here', 'I really like what Shirley sang here'. We'll take the 20 minute jam and edit it down to like four or five minutes and try to distill a song out of that.»

Garbage «Let All That We Imagine Be The Light» will out as Digipak CD with 16 page booklet, Transparent Neon Orange Vinyl, Limited Pearl Sunrise Vinyl and Digital. Complete information about Garbage «Let All That We Imagine Be The Light» tracklist and formats - here.
