Garbage have started work on their eighth studio album.
The group released their most recent LP ‘No Gods No Masters’ in 2021 and, speaking about the sessions, Shirley Manson has revealed plans to better their last effort.
“We started our eighth studio record a few weeks ago. We all still feel really excited when we get to make another record,” she said in an interview on the Kyle Meredith With podcast.
“I was so proud of ‘No Gods No Masters’ and I still am. I knew when we finished it that this is really good, we’ve made something really, really good. To follow up that record is a bit of a conundrum in a way.”
Discussing the group’s creative process, she added: “Musically I know we’ll never run out of ideas. We get into the studio together and we jam and melodies come out and scraps of lyrics come out at the same time.
“I have a feeling in my gut of things that I want to talk about. Every time I do a record I’m like, ‘What is it you want to say? These are things you want to get off your chest before you die.’
“To get that out of your core is so thrilling. You feel like, ‘Wow, oh my God, I’ve really touched on something here that I’ve wanted to get off my chest for so long.'”
