Let All That We Imagine Be the Light is the eighth studio album by American 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 Billy Bush. Musically, Let All That We Imagine Be The Light departs from the socio-political ideas of No Gods No Masters (2021) with more optimistic lyrics and themes.
