Let All That We Imagine Be the Light is the eighth studio album by the rock band Garbage, released on May 30, 2025, through BMG. It was recorded between 2022 and 2024 across sessions in two California-based studios and Shirley Manson‘s bedroom. It was produced by the band and producer Billy Bush.
Musically, Let All That We Imagine Be The Light departs from the socio-political ideas of No Gods No Masters (2021) and features more optimistic lyrics and themes. To promote the album, Garbage released the singles “There’s No Future in Optimism” and “Get Out My Face AKA Bad Kitty”, and announced the Happy Endings tour. Music critics praised the emotional depth of the record, with some calling it the best album released by the band since their self-titled debut.
