Garbage: Let All That We Imagine Be The Light

"Let All That We Imagine Be The Light" is Garbage's eighth studio album and was recorded at Red Razor Sounds in Los Angeles, Butch Vig's studio Grunge Is Dead and Shirley Manson's bedroom. The record was produced by the band and their longtime sound engineer Billy Bush. The album is unmistakably Garbage. All the trademarks and signatures they are known for are here. Big, angular guitars, precise, driving beats and cinematic soundscapes all lurk beneath Shirley Manson's expressive voice, their lyrics brimming with attitude. It's the sound of a group at the height of their creative powers - characteristically using sonic juxtapositions and moods to create an album that pulses with light and shade in equal measure. "When I started recording this record, I was determined to find a more hopeful, uplifting world to immerse myself in. The title of the album, "Let All That We Imagine Be The Light," is a perfect, headline-grabbing statement for the entire record. When everything seems bleak, it's imperative to look for the bright, positive and beautiful forces in the world. It almost feels like a matter of life and death. A survival strategy" - Shirley Manson Garbage consists of all four original band members, Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker and drummer Butch Vig. In the 30 years since their formation in 1995, they have sold over 20 million albums. They are considered one of the most influential bands of their generation.
