buzzworthy.mtv.com/2012/08/21/garbage-big-bright-world-video/ In between being BFFs with Ke$ha, Garbage's Shirley Manson found the time to write, record, and film a video for her band's new song "Big Bright World." In case you'd forgotten, it's kind of a big deal, seeing as how it's been about seven years since Garbage has been on the scene. But they're back and ready to slay the charts once again. Watch Garbage's "Big Bright World" after the jump. The second single off Garbage's critically acclaimed album, Not Your Kind of People, "Big Bright World" is a vaguely '90s-feeling ambient rock song that pretty much left off where the rockers did years ago. And they've got a perfect video to match. Shot primarily black and white, the Julie Orser-directed clip features a veiled Shirley as she's surrounded by borderline-creepy religious imagery, close-ups of lakes, and shots of abandoned graveyards. A bunch of other dark and vaguely spiritual stuff happens, but not before Shirley floats in a pool. We're not sure what's actually happening half the time, but this video is quintessentially Garbage, and that's all that matters. Also, WELCOME BACK, GUYS!

I wonder if the video is helping the album sales or if the single is doing well, or at least doing something to the charts.

As much as I don't like MTV I do have to admit that they have always been very kind and supportive to Garbage even when other media outlets have chosen not to give them that much press. However, the constant references to Ke$ha as Shirley's "BFF" are making me want to stab myself in the eye though.

I'm surprised it's getting buzz on MTV in the US as it's not even a single here...but any buzz about G is good

there was also some pooblicity online via "indie" music website stereogum, because a friend of mine sent me the link to the video a few days after it premiered.... so... I bet after all was said and done with 'Darklings' and our multiple physical purchases, it continues selling via itunes outlet.... be it the music video itself, single song purchases, or entire album purchases... I even downloaded NYKOP (the song)on itunes one day just cause I wanted to hear it on my phone... (I have 2 cds USA and Europe and the vinyl)
P.S. I am so damn excited and I cannot wait in like 45 days I get to see a full set by Garbage! I am ready! I thought the wait from February to April was hard.... then the wait from april to the rescheduled postponement announcement, and Finally on october 10th for an hour and a half i will be in TOTAL E X S T A C Y !!!!!!!! lol
