Garbage break up ends with new LP – If they did actually break up

MTV interviewed Garbage recently, where they taled about their break, the single “Why Do You Love Me”, the album heavier sonority, working with John King and Dave Grohl on “Bad Boyfriend” and here’s what they had to say about some of these topis:
– “There’s less layering, less electronic things. It’s basically just a really loud guitar record.”
– The album’s first single, “Why Do You Love Me,” officially hit the airwaves Tuesday, with a Sophie Muller-directed video to follow shortly behind. On the track [”Why Do You Love Me”], singer Shirley Manson questions her appeal to a lover and then questions his motivations and eventually his loyalty. “I’m not as pretty as those girls in magazines,” she sings in the first verse. “It’s a weird, weird song that kind of deals with three different things in my life going on at one time,” Manson explained. “I can’t actually articulate it very easily without sounding like a turd. … I always feel like I have this duty to explain the lyrics, and I always feel like such a turd doing it, so I just decided on this record I’m not gonna do it.”
– “Once he [Dave Grohl] played the drums on that track, that kind of set the bar for how we wanted the rest of the songs on the album to sound,” Vig said. “That really forced us to ramp it up more on ‘Bad Boyfriend’ and ‘Metal Heart’ and some of the other tracks.”
