Garbage have surprised fans with the release of a brand new song. Check out ‘No Horses’ below.

The track is their first new material since their acclaimed 2016 album, ‘Strange Little Birds’, and sees the rock veterans following an adventurous route down their more esoteric, electronic path – before blooming into an industrial, alt-rock stomper.

“It’s actually a song that’s very un-Garbage like,” frontwoman Shirley Manson told Variety about the track. “I was driving through the Scottish countryside last year and looking at these fields of horses and thinking, what will happen to them when we don’t need them as much as we once did? When they’re no longer working beasts, what will happen to the horses? So it’s an imagining of the future where the authorities destroy anything that doesn’t make large amounts of money.”

The song can be downloaded here, with all proceeds going to the Red Cross.

Meanwhile, Garbage are currently in the midst of their US ‘Rage And Rapture’ tour with Blondie. Their full reamining tour dates are below.
