Seven is looking to be Garbage‘s lucky number as the alt-rock veterans shared a new single and video, ‘The Men Who Rule The World.” They also announced their seventh studio album, No Gods No Masters, which is out on June 11.
A deluxe CD/digital version features covers of classic tracks by David Bowie‘s “Starman” and Patti Smith‘s “Because the Night” along with a slew of originals like “No Horses,” “On Fire,” “Time Will Destroy Everything,” “Girls Talk,” “The Chemicals” and “Destroying Angels.” The latter three feature Brody Dalle, Brian Aubert, and John Doe and Exene Cervenka of X respectively.
“This is our seventh record, the significant numerology of which affected the DNA of its content: the seven virtues, the seven sorrows, and the seven deadly sins,” singer Shirley Manson said in a statement. “It was our way of trying to make sense of how fucking nuts the world is and the astounding chaos we find ourselves in.
“It’s the record we felt that we had to make at this time,” she continued, describing the LP as “a critique of the rise of capitalist short-sightedness, racism, sexism and misogyny across the world.”
Produced by collaborator Billy Bush, No Gods No Masters is the follow-up to 2016’s Strange Little Birds.
Manson offers “Major thanks and kudos to the genius Chilean artist and film director Javi Miamor for the incredible visual accompaniment to our brand new song!”

The album will also be in record stores starting June 12 as part of RSD Drops and will be available in limited edition pink vinyl, featuring alternate cover art.
