Garbage announce new album, European tour detailsMarch 11, 2016 - 15:46 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Garbage have announced details of their long-awaited new album, Strange Little Birds - as well as a UK and European tour, Gigwise reveals. Their Butch Vig produced sixth album will arrive on 10 June, inspired by letters from fans and the albums they loved growing up - as well as calling back to their earlier material. “The guiding principle was keeping it fresh, and relying on instinct both lyrically and musically”, said frontwoman Shirley Manson. "Strange Little Birds is less fussed over than anything Garbage has ever made." She continued: “To me, this record, funnily enough, has the most to do with the first record than any of the previous records. It’s getting back to that beginner’s headspace. In part, she says, that’s a result of not having anyone to answer to.” Speaking to Gigwise about the new record last year, Manson said: "In some ways the new record, which is yet to be finished, it's sort of a romantic record in a way. I don't feel like any of our records yet are 'romantic' - I don't really think in terms of romance, ever, but this is probably the closest I'll get to being romantic."
