Shirley Manson has noted on her Facebook page that Garbage may have a new album “finished by summer”.

Manson wrote a note on her Facebook page to thank fans for supporting her appearance on new track ‘The Hunger’, written by System Of A Down ringleader Serj Tankian for a musical.

She also mentioned that she is back in the studio “with the boys”, presumably the boys from her first love – Garbage – who haven't released an album since 2005's Bleed Like Me.

She said that they are starting to “select tracks for the final collection”, and dared to suggest that they will have something finished by the Northern Hemisphere’s summer, around mid-year.

Here's the post in full.

“Darklings

Many thanks for all your sweet notes about 'The Hunger'.

It's been SUCH a long time since I  dipped my toes into the waves and it is always a weird, almost scary feeling.......... like being full of electrical eels in my tummy.........so thankyou for taking the time to write and support the cause!

Back in the studio as of yesterday with the boys.....

We are getting up a nice head of steam as we really start to hone in and select tracks for the final collection.........

Dare I suggest we will have something finished by the summer?!?!?!?!”
