Garbage to Self-Release New Album in Spring 2012

Today (Jan. 23) alternative rock band Garbage announced the launch of their record label, STUNVOLUME. The band will self-release its highly anticipated upcoming fifth studio album later this spring on STUNVOLUME via Fontana in the United States. The record label also has licensing deals with Cooperative Music in Asia, Europe and Latin America, Liberator Music/The Mushroom Group in Australia and New Zealand, Sony in Japan and Universal Canada in Canada. 

Garbage (Shirley Manson, Steve Marker, Duke Erikson and Butch Vig) have been in the studio putting the finishing touches on their fifth studio album, which will be their first in seven years. 
 
"Years-worth of pent-up music came out in some bizarre ways- bleary cell phone memos became real songs, conversations turned into lyrics, and new computer gizmos inspired wicked tangents," said the members of Garbage. "Ghosts came in, had their say. Everyone brought ideas, and everyone fought their corner.  At the end of the day it all gets shoved through the four-way brain filter that is Garbage and it ends up sounding like nobody else. Red feathers and black tar."
