GARBAGE “BLOOD FOR POPPIES” FIRST SINGLE – NEW ALBUM
GARBAGE “BLOOD FOR POPPIES” TO BE THE FIRST SINGLE FROM GARBAGE’S NOT YOUR KIND OF PEOPLE NEW ALBUM TO BE RELEASED IN TWO CONFIGURATIONS ON MAY 15, 2012 BAND UNVEILS TRACKLISTING, ALBUM ART AND MORE TOUR DATES (08 MARCH 2012 – TORONTO, ON)
“The song is meant to feel sort of like an abstract dream,” said Shirley Manson. “The inspiration came from a story I had read in The Los Angeles Times about the opium trade and also from watching the documentary Restrepo. It's not literal in any sense whatsoever but it's a song about disorientation and delusion and the human struggle to stay sane in the face of insanity.”
The video for “Blood For Poppies” was recently shot in Los Angeles by renowned fashion photographer and filmmaker Matt Irwin. Additionally, the band filmed this video clip that they posted to their social media revealing the tracklisting for Not Your Kind Of People and the album covers for both standard and deluxe configurations.
