Untitled

Not Your Kind of People is the fifth studio album released by alternative rock group Garbage.[1] The album marks the return of the band after a six-year "hiatus", taken after the release of their last set, and has a worldwide release date of May 14, 2012.[2] The album will be released worldwide through the band's own record label, STUNVOLUME.[3] "Working with Garbage again was very instinctual," said guitarist Duke Erikson at the launch of the record. "Like getting on a bicycle... with three other people," Erikson added, "We haven't felt this good about a Garbage record since the last one."[3] The album will be preceded by the release of "Blood for Poppies" as the lead single internationally,[3] while in the United Kingdom, "Battle in Me" is being marketed as the album's lead single.[4]

The album, which was recorded in various Hollywood, Silver Lake, Glendale, and Atwater Village recording studios, was self-produced by Garbage, and was engineered and mixed by Billy Bush.[5] The album contains bass guitar parts recorded by Justin Meldal-Johnsen while Finnish actress Irina Björklund performs the musical saw on one track.[6] Both daughters of band-members Steve Marker and Butch Vig laid down vocals on the album's title track.[7] Photos for the album package were shot by Autumn de Wilde at the Paramour Mansion in Silverlake.

Background

During the six years since Garbage's last studio album, 2005's Bleed Like Me, the band members found themselves involved in various projects - Vig produced albums and tracks by Green Day, Foo Fighters, and Muse; while Manson recorded an unreleased solo album and made her professional acting debut as a series regular on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.[8] In mid-2010, the entire group were in Los Angeles for a birthday, where Manson suggested they book a studio and spend time writing. Three or four song ideas came together during this time. "But we didn't go right into making-a-record mode", Erikson recalled. "It took a bit of time for us to realize that we were going to make an album."[8]

On March 7, 2012, Garbage confirmed the album tracklist via YouTube.[9] Four further tracks recorded for the deluxe edition[10] were confirmed later in a press release issued through the band's own label.[3] Throughout the recording sessions for the album, the band also mentioned several song titles via Facebook and Twitter. These included: "Alone", "Animal", "Choose Your Weapon", "Time Will Destroy Everything" and "T.R.O.U.B.L.E.". Some of these may be released as further bonus tracks, B-sides, or as part of an EP throughout the campaign.

Singles

"Blood for Poppies" was confirmed as the lead single to launch the album.[3] The song was made available for free digital download from the group's website after the song leaked online early.[12] A digital single has been confirmed for release in Australia;[13] while a limited edition 7" single, backed with an exclusive remix by Butch Vig, will be distributed to independent record stores across North America to mark Record Store Day on April 21, 2012.[14] "Battle in Me" has been confirmed as the lead-single exclusively for the United Kingdom. A limited edition 7" vinyl will be issued on April 21 to mark Record Store Day while a proper commercial release is scheduled for May 7, 2012.[4]

To promote the album, "Automatic Systematic Habit" was released as a free download through iTunes in the US on May 8, 2012.[15]

In late 2011, Garbage announced their return to touring upon the release of Not Your Kind of People. The shows will be the first performances by the band since 2007.[16] "Thinking about going back on the road is both thrilling and terrifying in equal measure," Manson stated. "…but we’ve always enjoyed a little pain mixed in with our pleasure."[3]
