So much for last year’s breakup of Garbage that seemed inevitable following the Fall 2005 announcement of an infinite hiatus. Their sensual, multilayered music with “a core of Americanized goth rock, learned from latter-day Siouxsie and the Banshees” will see the studio in very short order to record some new songs for the impending greatest-hits disc. Drummer Butch Vig dishes their dirt:
We’re recording a couple new songs at the end of February. I think everyone’s excited about getting back in a room and playing some music together.
We’ve been working on it for a while. There was originally talk about doing a B-side and remix CD as well. I’m not sure what we’ll do, but we have a lot of B-sides and remixes over the years, so it would be cool to see that come out in a proper package for our hard-core fans.
For the moment, fans of Shirley Manson and her boys will have to content themselves with the 10th Anniversary edition of the Romeo and Juliet Soundtrack, which contains quite possibly the sexiest song ever recorded, “#1 Crush.”
