INFLUENTIAL ALTERNATIVE ROCK BAND
GARBAGE RELEASE THEIR HIGHLY ANTICIPATED
AND CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED NEW ALBUM
LET ALL THAT WE IMAGINE BE THE LIGHT—OUT NOW LET ALL THAT WE IMAGINE BE THE LIGHT IS THE BAND’S EIGHTH STUDIO ALBUM AND ACCORDING TO SHIRLEY MANSON, WAS FORGED OUT OF THE NEED TO FIND AN UPLIFTING THREAD AMIDST THE SWELL OF CHAOS AND EXTRAORDINARY UPHEAVAL IN THE WORLD
Praise for Let All That We Imagine Be The Light:
"Manson’s poetic suffering, and her bandmates’ alt-rock songwriting ingenuity,
led to a catchy, memorable album that sits with their best work from the Nineties.
Plus, it gives them a good excuse to get back on the road.”
"Buzz-saw guitars, dense synthesizers and throbbing percussion can sometimes brighten the mood. The band’s familiar sonic mix provides a pathway out of the darkness, with heavy riffing and dramatic atmospherics accompanying Manson’s alluring alto.”

“Alt rockers welcome a brighter new chapter...some of their
most profound songwriting to date”
“Anger's still an energy but so are joy and gratitude”
“A pulsing, electronically-backed alternative rock tune… a politically-charged anthem that, ironically, argues against its eye-catching title. It’s bleak but not hopeless, which is made all the more clear when supplemented by the dystopian imagery of the music video”
[On “There’s No Future In Optimism”]
May 30, 2025—Influential alternative rock band Garbage have today released their highly anticipated, critically acclaimed new album, Let All That We Imagine Be The Light—listen/purchase here. The new album follows the release of tracks “There’s No Future In Optimism,” which is currently playlisted on BBC 6 Music, and “Get Out My Face AKA Bad Kitty.” Let All That We Imagine Be The Light is the follow-up to 2021’s critically acclaimed No Gods No Masters, praised in The New York Times as a “thrumming mix of goth and orchestral pop.” Recorded at Red Razor Sounds in Los Angeles, Butch Vig’s studio Grunge Is Dead, and Shirley Manson’s bedroom, the new record was produced by the band and longtime engineer Billy Bush.
The album is unmistakably Garbage and all the hallmarks and signatures for which they are known are present. Big angular guitars, precise, propulsive beats and cinematic soundscapes all lurk beneath Shirley Manson’s unmistakable voice, her lyrics bristling with attitude. This 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.
Garbage consists of all four original band members, Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker and Butch Vig. Over the 30 years since their inception in 1995 they have sold over 20 million albums. Their unique sound, songwriting and electric live performances have inspired worldwide adoration, chart success and critical acclaim. They are considered one of the most influential bands of their generation.
Garbage’s new album, Let All That We Imagine Be The Light is out now digitally, on pearl sunrise vinyl, neon orange vinyl, and CD.
