Strange Little Birds by Garbage
Strange Little Birds is an album by Garbage, released in 2016. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 5 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Empty”, on 5 lists with a best position of #25.
Strange Little Birds, Garbage's sixth album, came out on June 10, 2016, on Stunvolume, the band's own label, as their second independent release and the follow-up to 2012's Not Your Kind of People. The Madison, Wisconsin outfit still had the same four people it started with: Scottish singer Shirley Manson up front, Duke Erikson and Steve Marker on guitars and keyboards, and Butch Vig on drums, all four writing and producing together.
The band pitched it as a widescreen, filmic record held together by one mood, and that mood is darkness. It broods rather than bangs: slow-building tension, shadowy textures and Manson sounding wounded and dangerous by turns. "Empty" went out first as the lead single, and an international tour carried it on the road.
