Garbage have unveiled new single 'Blood For Poppies' on garbage.com as a free download for one week only.
Speaking about the track, Garbage commented: "We decided to give the track to our fans first. We've always had the most amazingly loyal fans, and we wanted to show them just how much they mean to us by setting it free to them first."
'Blood For Poppies' is the first single from the bands highly anticipated album 'Not Your Kind Of People', which is due out on May 15th on the bands very own Stunvolume record label. On April 21st for Record Store Day, Garbage will release 'Blood For Poppies' on a limited edition, white vinyl 7-inch that will feature the track and an exclusive remix by drummer Butch Vig.
Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson said, "'Blood For Poppies' is meant to feel sort of like an abstract dream. 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."
'Not Your Kind Of People' will be released in both a Standard and a Deluxe edition.
Garbage will hit the road later this year in support of the album.
