To be honest we kind of forgot Garbage existed. Not that we didn't love them, they just sort of faded away and as it turns out they didn't leave much of a void behind. But now - because the time is PERFECT FOR A COMEBACK or something - former frontwoman Shirley Manson is finally unleashing her first solo material.
In the interest of managing expectations, let's just say right off the bat that it's a bit underwhelming, so don't get too excited. It's kind of a Fiona Apple cast-off, right down to the copycat "I've been a bad bad girl" lyric and melody ripped from Apple's genius 'Criminal,' and - while not terrible - is completely and utterly forgettable. But, as Shirley takes great pains to point out, this is just a demo, so we can all hope and pray that somewhere tucked beneath her shockingly well preserved exterior she is hiding some brilliant and original ideas.
"Adequate."
