Shirley Manson on the second coming of Garbage

Shirley Manson on the second coming of Garbage

Garbage's undervalued second act (2011—) is ripe for reappraisal with the release of the career-spanning Anthology, out today. For The Line of Best Fit, I spoke to Shirley Manson about five of her favourite Garbage tracks from the past decade, allowing her to dig into some lesser-known singles and B-sides.

Honestly, what a delight. I love to hear artists go deep on the songs that don't hog the spotlight. Three of her picks don't even feature on Anthology. That's how rich the Garbage discography is. Thanks to Shirley for being so engaged and enthusiastic to share her stories. One to tick off my interview bucket list for sure!
