Garbage Releases New Single 'There’s No Future in Optimism'

Garbage has released 'There’s No Future in Optimism,' the lead single from their upcoming album, 'Let All That We Imagine Be the Light,' set for release on May 30. The song, which features Shirley Manson's powerful lyrics, is a poignant commentary on societal challenges, particularly reflecting on the aftermath of George Floyd's murder and the resulting protests in Los Angeles. Manson describes the track as a call to action against fatalism and negativity, emphasizing the need for compassion and love in dark times. The accompanying black-and-white music video portrays themes of resilience and hope amid bleakness. The upcoming album aims to explore the fragility of life while providing a hopeful perspective, contrasting with their previous work. Garbage plans to support the album with a tour following festival appearances this summer.
