New ‘Blood’ From Garbage

March 15, 2012 4 Comments

On May 14, Garbage will release Not Your Kind Of People, their first studio album since 2005’s Bleed Like Me.

Seven years may have passed, but the bodily fluid is still very much on the band’s mind, judging by the title of their new single, “Blood For Poppies.” The track, being offered as a free download, is classic Garbage: hard-charging guitars, prominent drums, and plenty of electronic effects, with a surging chorus that’s pure pop.

Oh, and Shirley Manson’s commanding vocals, of course. That’s the life-giving stuff, right there:

Those oh-whoa-ohs in “Blood For Poppies”? Subconsciously plucked or boldly nicked from Laura Branigan’s “Self-Control.”

Not Your Kind Of People is out May 14 on the band’s own label, STUNVOLUME. Read more about the album here.
