Garbage Strange Little Birds

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's still totally relevant; singer Shirley Manson's brooding edge and producer-drummer Butch Vig's mix of sheer guitar buzz and moody industrial texture stake their claim as forebears to artists like Sky Ferreira and even Lana Del Rey."
"[I]t successfully excavates old and gorgeous Garbage: digs it up, dusts it off, reassembles it, and lovingly crafts replacements, piece by vivid piece, for the strange little sounds that have rotted away."
"[W]e find the Scottish/American band recapturing the moody, grungy atmosphere of their first album, but injecting it with fresh zeal and enthusiasm."
Pitchfork (Website) - "Twenty years on, Garbage are still grappling with their demons, but they're disarmingly zen -- even ecstatic -- about the battle. With material like this, they've got a right to be."
Clash (Magazine) - "Their sixth release, 'Strange Little Birds', is a thrilling synthesis of the band's most endearing features; quasi metal riffing, with Shirley Manson's devilishly seductive croon and huge industrial pop hooks."
