They then took those demos and went their separate ways, before reconvening in Los Angeles to finish the record. The quartet convened at a home belonging to one of Steve Marker’s relatives and sketched out the skeleton of the album over two weeks, jamming, experimenting and feeling the songs out. Produced by Garbage and long-time collaborator Billy Bush, the seeds for No Gods No Masters were planted in summer 2018 in the desert in Palm Springs. It’s the record we felt that we had to make at this time.” “It was our way of trying to make sense of how fucking nuts the world is and the astounding chaos we find ourselves in. “This is our seventh record, the significant numerology of which affected the DNA of its content: the seven virtues, the seven sorrows, and the seven deadly sins,” says Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson of the band’s ferocious new album No Gods No Masters and its twists and turns from capitalism and lust to loss and grief. A critique of the rise of capitalist short-sightedness, racism, sexism and misogyny across the world, the track is a forceful protest song and a clear statement of intent from a band who still believe in the power of dissent. The Men Who Rule the World is an incendiary indictment and call to arms, a typically powerful sonic display that sets the tone for the band’s searing new record. The video was made by Chilean film director, animator and painter Javi.MiAmor. In 1997, Garbage were nominated at Grammy Awards for Best New Artist, Best Rock Performance By a Duo or Group With Vocal for 'Stupid Girl', Best Rock.

Where Strange Little Birds was more personal and saw Manson take on personal demons and emotions, No Gods, No Masters is an audacious commentary on our world’s current condition. No Gods, No Masters follows their 2016 release, Strange Little Birds. So it was with great anticipation that I looked forward to their latest release, No Gods, No Masters, their seventh studio entry and was not disappointed. Every few years, they seemed to emerge, displaying their wide-ranging musical prowess as they weighed in on society’s most challenging dilemmas. ![]() ![]() Since that time, Garbage has never ceased to amaze. Manson would, in turn, provide unforgettably, moxie filled lead woman performances. To top off their Grunge breeding and impeccable taste, the trio introduced to the larger world the exciting Shirley Manson. Garbage was an ersatz superband comprised of the godfather of Grunge, Butch Vig and his grunge cohorts Duke Erikson and Steve Marker.
