It is available to pre-order/pre-save at https://garbage.lnk.to/AllThatWeImaginePR
A new single from the album will arrive "in the coming weeks," according to a press release.
Produced by Garbage and their longtime engineer Billy Bush, the album features contributions from the four original band members: Shirley Manson, Butch Vig, Duke Erikson and Steve Marker.
"I had this vision of us coming up out of the underground with searchlights as we moved towards the future. Searching for life, searching for love, searching for all the good things in the world that seem so thin on the ground right now," said Manson. "That was the over-riding idea during the making of this record for me — that when things feel dark, it's best to try to seek out that which is light, that which feels loving and good."
"When I was young, I tended towards the destruction of things," she added. "Now that I'm older I believe it's vitally important to build and to create things instead."
Speaking about the making of the record, Vig said, "We used a lot of analogue synths and sound design on the album, as they seemed to fit the dystopian vibes we were all experiencing. We started recording the album with a clean slate, although given what's happening in the US and the rest of the world, it's inevitable that the madness starts to infiltrate the songs. But we definitely wanted the record to have some hope, some light to convey the feeling that people have the power."
