Garbage is the debut album by Scottish-American alternative rock group Garbage. It was released in the late summer and autumn of 1995 worldwide, following critical acclaim and promising chart positions for their debut single "Vow", which entered the Billboard Hot 100.

Garbage eventually spent over a year on both the US and UK charts, reaching the top 20 on charts worldwide and receiving multi-platinum certification in numerous territories. The albums success was helped by the band promoting it on a year-long tour, including playing on the European festival circuit and supporting the Smashing Pumpkins throughout 1996, as well as by a run of increasingly successful singles culminating with "Stupid Girl" which in 1997 was nominated for Grammy Awards for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group.

The album is contained in the book "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die".

Background

Prior to Garbage

When Duke Erikson was 16 years old he formed his first band, The British. Erickson studied art history, and financed his studies with numerous jobs such as carpenter or truck driver. Duke is single and has a daughter.

In 1979, Erickson's band Spooner, for whom he was the main songwriter and singer, released a four-song EP that started them as being one of the most popular bands in the region. Two full-length records followed, Every Corner Dance and the nationally distributed Wildest Dreams.

While Butch Vig is in Madison, He joined a number of garage pop bands, including Eclipse, and in 1978 formed Spooner with Duke Erikson, Dave Benton, Jeff Walker and Joel Tappero. Spooner founded their own label, Boat Records to issue their own recordings, including their 1979 debut EP, "Cruel School", and releases for around twenty local acts.[1]

In 1984, Vig and Marker founded Smart Studios in Madison, while still performing drums in Spooner at night and driving a taxi cab during the day. When Spooner lost momentum, Vig formed a band called First Person with Marker and Phil Davis and a side-project called Fire Town featuring Davis and Erikson.

In 1987 Duke and Butch Vig, with Phil Davis as a singer, created the band Firetown. Firetown published two albums and six singles in very short period of time, along with a video for the single Carry The Torch, but separated in 1989. Then the Spooner single "Mean Old World" hit number one in Madison, their home town, helping to bring a full reunification of the band. A new album, Fugitive Dance, soon appeared and a tour followed, before the band separated again in 1993. By this time, Butch Vig had made his name as a producer.

Fire Town quickly became Vig's priority, and after their first album were signed to Atlantic Records. Atlantic hired producer Michael Fondelli to work with Fire Town on their second album. While the sessions did not do well, and the resulting record sank, Vig learned a lot of production techniques from the process. Fire Town split, and Vig reformed Spooner for a final album before Vig's production work became a full-time career for him.[1]

Writing and Recording

After Butch and Duke formed Garbage with two other band members, Work on their Debut LP started. Shirley was audicted to band, and joined them. The group formed in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1994.[2] The band consists of Scottish vocalist Shirley Manson and American musicians Duke Erikson, Steve Marker and Butch Vig, and has counted worldwide album sales of over 14 million units since the release of thier debut album.[3]

In 1983, Vig and Marker founded Smart Studios in Madison and Vig's production work brought him to the attention of Sub Pop.[4] A short-term reformation and album from Spooner inspired Erikson, Marker and Vig to form a band: tired of using their own work for remixes, they decided to keep the material for their own project. An early comment that their work sounded "like garbage" inspired the band's name.[2]

Manson had been performing with the Edinburgh rock band Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie since 1984.[5] In 1993, several band members, including Manson, changed their name to Angelfish. Their only release, the self-titled Angelfish, did not do any better than the preceding albums by Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie, selling only 10,000 copies.[6]

Initial sessions with Vig on vocals, and the member's past work with all-male groups led to the band's desire for a woman on lead.[7] Marker was watching 120 Minutes when he saw the music video for Angelfish's "Suffocate Me". He showed the video to Erikson and Vig while their manager Shannon O'Shea tracked Manson down. When Manson was contacted, she didn't know who Vig was and was urged to check the credits on Nevermind, the popular Nirvana album which Vig produced.[2]

On April 8, Manson met Erikson, Marker and Vig for the first time in London. Later that evening Vig was informed of Kurt Cobain's suicide.[2] Garbage was put on hold, until Angelfish were touring North America in support of Live.[8] Erikson, Marker and Vig attended the Metro Chicago date; and Manson was invited to Madison to audition for the band. The audition did not go well, but Manson socialized with the men while there and they found they had a similar taste in music. Angelfish disbanded at the end of the Live tour. Manson called O'Shea and asked to audition again feeling that "it would work out".[2] "Vow" began in rough demo form in January, 1994, during sessions between band members Butch Vig, Duke Erikson and Steve Marker located in either Marker's basement recording studio or at their own Smart Studios business in Wisconsin university town Madison.[9] After Marker saw Shirley Manson's group Angelfish on 120 Minutes, the band invited Manson to Smart Studios to sing on a couple of tracks. After a dreadful first audition, she returned to Angelfish.[2] Manson eventually returned to Smart for a successful second time, where she began to work on the then-skeletal "Queer" and "Vow" (ad-libbing the lyric "like Joan of Arc coming back for more").[10]

The genesis of "Vow" came from a newspaper article Vig had read about a sado-masochistic couple who couldn't keep away from each other,[11] an intense relationship showing that violence can come from psychological stand point. Garbage had even joked to journalists the song was about John and Lorena Bobbitt.[12] Lyrically, Manson claimed "'Vow' is about having feelings [of vengeance]. You have to face your feelings of revenge and work out why you feel that way. It's about that conundrum when you're really angry but in reality you're in a pitiful state. Angry, twisted, but deep down, vulnerable"[13]

Halfway through the recording sessions for Garbage, Mushroom's Rob Jefferson secured the band a Volume compilation inclusion.[14] The only song the band had finished in any shape or form was "Vow".[7] When the Volume compilation was released in December, 1994, "Vow" began to receive radio airplay on XFM and from Radio 1 DJs Steve Lamacq, John Peel and Johnnie Walker. Word-of-mouth on "Vow" took the track back to the U.S.[14] By May, 1995, alternative radio in the U.S. had picked up on the track, and it began to receive heavy rotation nationwide.[15]

Manson began to work on the then-skeletal "Stupid Girl", "Queer" and "Vow" (ad-libbing the line "I can't use what I can't abuse").[16] Manson had never written a song prior to this session, nevertheless, this time she was invited to join the band.[2] Lyrics were penned at a cabin in the north woods of Wisconsin, while the batch of songs were recorded at Smart Studios.[17] Conscious of the grunge genre that had made their names, particularly Vig's, the band made every effort to avoid sounding similar, deliberately striving to make a pop record.[18]

Garbage sent out demo tapes with no bio, to avoid a bidding war over Vig's production history.[4] Garbage signed with Mushroom U.K. worldwide (excluding North America) and secured the band a Volume magazine compilation inclusion.[14] The only potential candidate for release was "Vow," as it was the only song for which the band had completed production.[7] When released in December, "Vow" began to receive radio airplay on XFM and from Radio 1 DJs Steve Lamacq, John Peel and Johnnie Walker. Word-of-mouth on "Vow" took the track back to the U.S.[14] On December 21, Garbage signed to Jerry Moss's label Almo Sounds for North America.[6] Manson was licensed to both Mushroom and Almo by Radioactive Records for a single album, with no compensation from any of Garbage's labels.[19]

Halfway through the writing process, They wrote songs that are all B-Sides to their debut album's singles. Recording for it started in Mid-1994. The first song with Shirley vocals recorded is "Vow". Garbage hadn't even considered "Vow" for inclusion on the album or even as a single.[20] Due to the exclusive licensing to Volume preventing a full commercial single release,[17] on March 20, 1995, Mushroom issued "Vow" in a limited 7" vinyl format through Discordant, a label set up just to launch Garbage.[21] By May, commercial alternative radio in the U.S. had picked up on the track, and it began to receive heavy rotation nationwide.[22]

"Queer", a track with it's suggestive title and subdued trip-hop feel, quickly became a word-of-mouth success for the fledgling band. The song samples the drum beat from Single Gun Theory's "Man of Straw". The band had wanted to use a Frank Sinatra sample for "Queer", but the idea was abandoned because it would have been too expensive. Butch Vig commented about the song that "With "Queer", I was reading this novel about this woman who was hired to go and make this guy's son "a man". The kid is missing a few marbles. But then he realises that the woman who came to his room is also fucking his father."

"Stupid Girl" also began as a rough demo in January 1994, during sessions among Vig, Erikson and Marker in Marker's basement recording studio in Madison, Wisconsin.[23] The band had been jamming with numerous instruments, an eight-track and samplers. Marker created the bassline, while Erikson wrote a jangly guitar riff, reminiscent of the guitar signature from Pink Floyd's 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond'. The whole song came together when Vig brought both parts together over a drum sample from The Clash's "Train In Vain".[24] The song also contains an uncredited sample from Orange Crush by R.E.M., which can especially be heard in the Todd Terry remix.

"It's impossible to predict what will be a hit. But subconsciously, I knew the song was good when I kept playing the same rough mix over and over again on my car stereo for months."

Butch Vig[24]

Working on the lyrics, "Stupid Girl" became an "anthem for a girl who won't settle for less than what she wants".[25] Reflecting on the success of the song in 2002, Butch Vig admitted: "People still ask us who the 'Stupid Girl' is, and that's impossible to answer. The song is sort of meant to be a wake up call. It could be about an ex-girlfriend. It could be about a rock diva that we all know, it could be about your sister. It could also be called 'Stupid Boy'."[24]

"Subhuman" was written and recorded between March, 1994 and May, 1995 during sessions between band members Duke Erikson, Shirley Manson, Steve Marker and Butch Vig in either Marker's basement recording studio or at their own Smart Studios in Wisconsin university town Madison.[26] The band has kept the story behind the song ambiguous, although Erikson has said that the lyric "burn down all your idols", the first line of the song "pretty much sums it up".[27]

Before the album's release, recording ended over 2 months. However, some songs was needed to be done. One of them, "Only Happy When It Rains" was written and recorded between March, 1994 and May, 1995 during sessions between band members Duke Erikson, Shirley Manson, Steve Marker and Butch Vig in either Marker's basement recording studio or at their own Smart Studios in Wisconsin university town Madison, as they did to "Subhuman". [28] Bass on "Only Happy When It Rains" was played by Mike Kashou, and additional percussion by Pauli Ryan. [29] Manson explains: "[The song] is a dig at ourselves because we like records that don't make us feel very happy, and at this so-called 'alternative' scene of 'we're so weird and more wonderful than everybody else'." [4]

Finally, "Milk" was written and recorded by the band at their own recording studio during the 1994-1995 sessions for Garbage. The most electronic based song on the album, "Milk" is also one of singer Shirley Manson's favourite tracks from it. She told Melody Maker "It's a dichotomy, a paradox. The thing I really like about "Milk" is the fact that it's been dismissed by people as the ballad at the end of the album. To me "Milk" is the darkest, most hopeless of the songs. People say 'Oh, it's lovey-dovey, so therefore it's a love song'. But it's a very bleak song, it's about loss and the fear of loss; about things you can't have and things you will forever wait for." [30]

Garbage was considered innovative for its fusion of pop melodies with alternative rock, trip-hop and electronica genres and its use of loops and sampling including, amongst other things, The Clash's "Train in Vain", the sound of torn sheets of metal, an air conditioning unit and a broken tape deck.

Release and success

"Vow", which was released in the US on June 20,[31] bubbled under for two weeks before it debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #97 on July 27,[32] quickly followed by the albums North American release on August 15 on CD, cassette and double vinyl. It debuted on the Billboard 200 on September 30 at #193 and buoyed by airplay for "Queer" (which on October 14 peaked at #57 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart [32] and became the band's first music video to make MTV's heavy rotation Buzz Bin status [33]) stayed on the chart for eleven weeks. Garbage also reached #2 on the Top Heatseekers chart.[34]

In Australia, after four weeks "Vow" peaked at #32 [35] and Garbage debuted at #5 on the ARIA album chart.[36] In New Zealand, "Vow" peaked at #41 [37] and Garbage debuted at #11.[38]

Garbage was formally launched in the United Kingdom on July 25, 1995, with a press conference for music press and fanzine writers taking place on a barge down the River Thames.[39] The event included an album playback and interviews with the band. This event also doubled up to promote the UK-only single "Subhuman", a track that had been intended as a B-side for the international single release of "Vow", and would not appear on the album, but was such a strong song, the band's label felt it was worth releasing,[21] providing a stop-gap single before album lead-in "Queer" could be issued.[40]

Mushroom Records would push back the albums original September 25 [40] UK release to October 2 and issue "Only Happy When It Rains" to promote the album instead of "Queer". "Only Happy..." was playlisted by Radio One and charted at #29. This top 40 position let Garbage perform the single on Top of The Pops, the band's first ever televised performance, providing Garbage with enough promotion to debut on the album chart at #12 with first week sales of 9,409.[41]

"Queer" eventually followed the album on November 20, supported by the band's debut UK show at London's Kentish Town Forum on November 23. Improving on previous singles, "Queer" reached the UK top 10 on mid-week results and settled at #13 by the end of the chart week. This chart result was quickly followed by a second invite to Top of The Pops to perform "Queer". Garbage was certified silver [42] by the BPI on January 1, 1996 and gold one month later.[42]

Garbage was certified gold by the RIAA on January 5 [43] and re-entered the Billboard 200 on January 13.[44] "Only Happy When It Rains" was released in US the following week on January 21.[45] MTV announced that "Only Happy" was certified a "Buzz clip", guaranteeing heavy rotation on its network from February 13.[46] On February 24, Garbage set off on a small 17-date headline tour of North America to support the single.[47]

The release of next UK single "Stupid Girl" was delayed from January 29 [48] to March 11 to bring it in line with Garbage's first headline UK tour.[47] After massive video and radio airplay ("Stupid Girl" was A-listed at Radio One, Virgin and Capital, reaching #5 in the UK Airplay chart [49]) and TV appearances on Top of The Pops and TFI Friday, the single reached #4, becoming the band's first UK top 10 hit, propelling the album back up the UK chart and into the top 10, peaking at #6. Garbage became platinum-certified for UK sales of 300,000 on May 1.[42]

US airplay and sales for "Only Happy" increased, debuting on the Hot 100 on March 9. Garbage returned to promote the album and single on a headline club tour, bookended by national television appearances performing "Only Happy" live on Saturday Night Special on April 13 and at the MTV Movie Awards on June 13.[47] "Only Happy" peaked at #55 on the Hot 100 on April 27.[32]

Garbage then joined Smashing Pumpkins as support on their North American arena tour from June 25,[47] then performed next single "Stupid Girl" on Late Show with David Letterman on July 11.[47] Although the support slot was cut short due to the death of Pumpkin's keyboardist Jonathan Melvoin on July 12, the album was now climbing steadily up the Billboard 200, spending the following two months in the top thirty peaking at #20.[44] Garbage was certified platinum for one million US sales on July 30 [43] the same week follow up single "Stupid Girl" debuted on the Hot 100, eventually reaching #24 on September 21.[32] A Top 40 radio remix of "Stupid Girl" by Todd Terry also received massive airplay.[50] A remix video for "Stupid Girl" was serviced to music channels where it became the band's third Buzz clip in a row.[50]

Despite having no immediate single to promote in either the UK or Europe (although on May 28 "Only Happy When It Rains" was released in mainland Europe [51]), the band returned there on August 3 promoting Garbage with a month of shows around the festival circuit.[47]

Garbage then headed south to Asia and Australia to promote the album, beginning with shows in Singapore on September 28 and ending in Osaka, Japan on October 18.[47] While in Australia, ARIA certified Garbage platinum, with sales of over 210,000 units [36], and on September 23 to coincide with the tour the band's record labels issued a 'Tour Edition' of the album containing a bonus disc of remixes and b-side "Alien Sex Fiend".[52] Following the tour, on October 14, White issued "Milk" upfront of the single's worldwide release date.[53] Eleven months after release, Garbage topped the New Zealand albums chart and peaked at #4 in Australia following the tour.[36]

With the album having peaked on the charts following the massive success of "Stupid Girl", Garbage returned to the US to give Garbage a final push by rejoining the Smashing Pumpkins rescheduled tour from October 23.[47] A day into the tour, on October 24, Garbage received major worldwide media attention when, during a performance of "Stupid Girl" at the VH1 Fashion Awards, Manson accidentally flashed her nipple onstage.[53]

During the tour, "Milk", the final single from Garbage, was released on November 11 and reached #106 on the Bubbling Under chart; a remix of the track featuring trip-hop artist Tricky became the band's second UK top 10 hit and the band performed the remix live at the MTV Europe Music Awards in London on November 14;[54] the band also won the Breakthrough award at the event.[54] Garbage opening track "Supervixen" was also sent to Modern Rock radio [55] as an airplay-only single;[56] despite "Fix Me Now" being planned and scrapped as a single release.[57]

On November 30, a remix of "Vow" b-side "#1 Crush" which had been included on the soundtrack to William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet debuted on the US Hot 100 Airplay chart, peaking five weeks later at #29.[32] On January 4, 1997 "#1 Crush" reached #1 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart,[32] staying there for four weeks. Despite not featuring on the album itself, and no promotional video (although filming one at the start of 1997 was considered [58]) the song continued to maintain Garbage's US sales.

The final release to promote the album was Garbage Video, a compilation of the album's promotional videos, which was released in the US on November 12 and worldwide on December 9.[54] By this time, Garbage had also been certified double platinum in Canada, Australia [59] and New Zealand and gold in France, Denmark, Ireland and Singapore.[60]

Garbage's sales continued with the release of second album Version 2.0, and was certified platinum in the UK for the second time on October 16, 1998,[42] and in the US for the second time on February 24, 1999.[43] It was also certified gold in the Philippines on June 20.[60] Garbage was issued on the MiniDisc format on March 20, 2000 [61] before re-charting in the UK for the final time week-ending July 15, 2000.[62]

The track "As Heaven is Wide" was one of the songs included in the 1998 PS1 racing game Gran Turismo.

Re-issues

In the years since Garbage was first released, the album has been repackaged and reissued many times, often due to a change in record label or local distributor. In almost all cases, labels which the album was licensed to reissued the album with updated crediting, resulting in small changes to the album sleeve, credits and catalogue numbering.

From 1999 Australian pressings were re-issued on parent Mushroom Records following the dissolution of the White label.[63] On November 29, 1999 Simply Vinyl issued a limited 180 g/m² double vinyl edition of the album (followed by a release for Version 2.0).[64]

In 2001, prior to the release of third album beautifulgarbage, Mushroom UK ended its distribution deal with BMG (with the exception of in Eastern Europe, Russia and CIS [65]) and began business with Play It Again Sam for territories in Western Europe.[66] In South Africa, PIAS licensed the album to David Gresham Records (taking over from BMG).[67] In Japan and Asia FMR, with whom Mushroom had merged with Festival to form, licensed the album out to Sony Music Int'l to release (again, taking over from BMG).[68] Garbage's North American parent company Universal picked up distribution from BMG for all South American business through their local labels.[69]

From 2003 WEA International took on all pressing and distribution for all non-American pressings of Garbage.[70] This arrangement eventually included Australia, where FMR became a Warners label in 2005.
