This Is the Noise That Keeps Me Awake is a 2017 autobiography by American alternative rock band Garbage with journalist and former Rolling Stone contributor Jason Cohen over a two-year period which coincided with the band's twentieth anniversary.[1] The title comes from the lyric of their 1998 single "Push It".[2]
The first edition, published by Akashic Books, is a large-format coffee table book is bound with an embossed cloth hardcover and finished with a dust jacket. The edges of the text pages, printed on matte art paper, are finished in pink.[3] The book includes original pieces from all four members of Garbage: Shirley Manson, Butch Vig, Duke Erikson and Steve Marker, and incorporates previously unpublished photographs and personal snapshots.
"We were starting to forget what we wanted to remember," Manson said of the impetus to put the book together. "Twenty-two years is a long time to keep track of the magic and the madness."[1] This Is the Noise That Keeps Me Awake is available to pre-order in several formats. The limited edition bundle includes a hardcover copy of the book, a custom collectable box and a 12-inch vinyl extended play featuring six previously unreleased live recordings - one each from the band's six albums.[1] The first 1,000 units were signed by the band.[4]
The release of This Is the Noise That Keeps Me Awake was augmented with a new single release, "No Horses", and the band co-headlining a tour with Blondie.[5]
