Let All That We Imagine Be the Light is the eighth studio album by American rock band Garbage, releasing on May 30, 2025. It's the band's second studio album released through BMG.
In a statement, Manson said she went into the making of Let All That We Imagine Be the Light "determined to find a more hopeful, uplifting world to immerse myself in” than Garbage's previous album, 2021's No Gods No Masters, which the singer said was "born out of frustration and outrage.”
"I had this vision of us coming up out of the underground with searchlights as we moved towards the future. Searching for life, searching for love, searching for all the good things in the world that seem so thin on the ground right now,” she explained. "That was the over-riding idea during the making of this record for me that when things feel dark, it's best to try to seek out that which is light, that which feels loving and good. When I was young, I tended towards the destruction of things. Now that I'm older I believe it's vitally important to build and to create things instead.”
Meanwhile, Vig provided some insight into the making of the record. "We used a lot of analogue synths and sound design on the album, as they seemed to fit the dystopian vibes we were all experiencing,” he said. "We started recording the album with a clean slate, although given what's happening in the US and the rest of the world, it's inevitable that the madness starts to infiltrate the songs. But we definitely wanted the record to have some hope, some light to convey the feeling that people have the power.”
