Back in August we were promised that we would get to hear new music from the band Garbage this month (!!!) but while we wait for that to get released (any second now, I hope) we must also wait for new information about the band’s next album. According to THIS report, Garbage is planning to release their as-yet untitled new album in the Spring of 2012. Click below to see a new promo photo of the band (presumably shot during THIS recent photoshoot) and read some quotes from Garbage about their upcoming new album.

“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. We are making a record filled with the music we love to hear. The new songs have been inspired more by what we haven’t been hearing rather than by what we have.”

Holy Hell, this is VERY exciting news. While I would much prefer that we get to hear the new Garbage album before the end of this year, good things come to those who wait. I’m still very much counting on hearing new Garbage music this month … so hopefully that will tide me over until next year. Without a doubt, Garbage is one of my all-time favorite bands so any new ANYTHING from them is welcome. I love these quotes … now, if we could just hear a bit of new music, that would RULE all :D
