Shirley Manson is breaking free of Garbage for a bit and finally releasing her solo record possibly early next year. The songwriting credits go to the fabulous Manson and Greg Kurstin of The Bird and The Bee fame.

Shirley also worked with Beck, Jack White, Billy Corgan and Paul Buchanan (The Blue Nile) on the tracks. Who worked on what track is yet to be discoverd but here is the tracklisting in full:

1. "Don't Want Anyone Hurt"
2. "Don't Want to Pretend"
3. "Gone Upside"
4. "Hot Shit"

I honestly can't wait...Shirley's been a huge part of the writing process for Garbage and her solo album should be absolutely brillliant.

Garbage Tell You Where It Hurts

Garbage are a teenage obsession I have never been able to kick. There is something about Shirley Manson thats always kept me in awe of the band and sort of loving everything they've ever done since their self titled 1995 release.

Now with 12 years as a band under their belt they finally have come to the conclusion that a greatest hits album is a must and will be releasing "Absolute Garbage" on JJuly 17th via Geffen Records.

They did a new track for the album called "Tell Me Where It Hurts" and Deaf Indie Elephants has the MP3. Shirley 's put her Chrissie Hynde love in full effect for this track as it sounds like a Pretenders song to the max.

Garbage In The Studio

With Shirley Manson going solo I personally thought it was the end of Garbage. We are all in luck though because according to NME.com Garbage are back in the studio!

Butch Vig states, "We're recording a couple of new songs at the end of February. I think everyone's excited about getting back in a room and playing some music together"

Best news I've heard all day (actually equal to the Lily tour dates)!
