Watch Garbage's "Blood For Poppies" video.
Garbage are back, you guys! The '90s icons went on hiatus after 2005's Bleed Like Me, but the band's still gushing: They just hit the web with their new video for "Blood for Poppies." The group, all in dark suits, mustaches and glasses except for colorful lead singer/ style diva Shirley Manson, premiered it after answering fan questions on Ustream on Tuesday, including where they've been all this time: "I spent the last seven years -- I don't really know what I've been doing! We spent our time living life and then we were ready to record," Manson said. And buying adorable yellow-and-blue matching outfits! WERQ.

From the girl who once sang, "I"m only happy when it rains," it sounds like Manson's ready to soak up some Vitamin D: "We ate ice cream sandwiches in the sunshine and laughed a lot. I didn't want the shoot to end," she told Spinner of making the video, directed by U.K. first-timer Matt Irwin. "Blood For Poppies" is the band's first video in five years, and it doesn't disappoint: The black-and-white clip draws from film noir imagery (including Manson looking '50s glam) and oddball astronomy shots filtered through a gritty, vintage look that goes hand-in-hand with the band's industrial sound. The track's a scorcher -- funky enough to groove to but definitely heavy enough to satisfy your alt-rock hunger pangs. Which we have! Don't ever go away again, dudes/ dudette. Garbage's Not Your Kind of People drops May 15.
