From their fifth studio album 'Not Your Kind of People' alternative rock band Garbage have returned after a short hiatus from their previous hit album 'Bleed Like Me' in 2005 and present to us a promotional single video "Blood For Poppies" directed by fashion photographer Matt Irwin and filmed over four days at the end of February 2012 in Los Angeles.
The video is inspired by surreal/avant garde artist, filmakers René Magritte, Maya Deren, Luis Buñuel and Francesca Woodman. Singer Shirley Manson described the sporadic shoot "We piled into a transit van with the ridiculously talented team of Matt Irwin and Aaron Brown and hopped around little pockets of Los Angeles creating a gorgeous surrealist dream. We ate ice cream sandwiches in the sunshine and laughed a lot. I didn’t want the shoot to end."
The video and song is an ear and bloody eye full of the Garbage "sound" ready for another new generation of callous ears presented with a bouquet of potency.
