GARBAGE ANNOUNCE

20TH ANNIVERSARY

REISSUE OF

BEAUTIFUL GARBAGE

Garbage have announced the details of their 20th anniversary reissue of the band’s third studio album, Beautiful Garbage. The reissue will be released on October 1st, exactly 20 years after the album was first released.

Ahead of the album release, Garbage have today released a previously unheard version of ‘Androgyny’. ‘Androgyny’ features lyrical content and a message that was ahead of its time upon its release in 2001, and was reflective of Garbage’s new pop-leaning sound.

Speaking of the Beautiful Garbage reissue, Shirley Manson says, “we wanted to celebrate the release of our third album in the same manner as we have celebrated the 20th anniversaries of our previous two records, as we cherish this third child of ours just as much as its predecessors. Over time it has garnered more and more respect from our fans, with many of the songs remaining in rotation in our live sets to this day. We’ve always felt incredibly proud of this record and felt it was in many ways very much ahead of its time.

Twenty years down the line, we are all exceedingly grateful to have such well-crafted songs in our discography and are very proud that against all the odds we are still standing and can give our beloved album the tribute it so very much deserves.”  

Marking a departure from the sound that Garbage had established on their first two releases, Beautiful Garbage was written and recorded over the course of a year. Shirley Manson chronicled the band’s efforts weekly online becoming one of the first high-profile musicians to keep an internet blog in the pro-cess. The album expanded on the band’s acclaimed musical variety with more direct lyrics and sounds that mixed rock with electronic, new wave, hip-hop and girl group influences. Beautiful Garbage reached #1 on the ARIA Chart when it was released in 2001, was immediately certified gold, and went on to spend four weeks in the top-10. 20 years later, the album is certified double platinum in Australia.

The 2021 release of Beautiful Garbage has been remastered from the original recordings. The album will be released across deluxe 3LP (with stickers, a poster and a setlist), white double vinyl, black double vinyl, deluxe 3CD, and deluxe digital formats. The deluxe packages include b-sides, demos, and remixes.
