Garbage

“Androgyny” is track #2 on Garbage’s third album Beautiful Garbage. It was released as lead single of the album. Despite this, the song was not widely promoted due to it being released just after the September 11th 2001 attacks, it became a minor hit in Spain, Italy and Belgium while performing moderately elsewhere in Scotland, Australia, Canada, and the UK.

The song was performed on the Late Show with David Letterman to promote the album in the US.

The music video was directed by Don Cameron. For the music video, Shirley cut her hair and adopted an androgynous look, as to convey the message of the song in a more direct way.
