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

Garbage - Shirley Manson (vocals), Steve Marker (guitars, keyboards), Duke Erikson (guitars, keyboards) and Butch Vig (drums, loops) - announced that "Blood For Poppies" would be the first single from their upcoming studio album, Not Your Kind Of People, due out on May 15, 2012 on the band's STUNVOLUME record label.     "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 configurations.  Full details and artwork below. Not Your Kind Of People will be released in both a standard and a deluxe configuration.  Fans can preorder either version here:  Standard Edition Preorder and Deluxe Edition Preorder.
