Suede have announced a new album, Antidepressants, and shared its first single, “Disintegrate,” via a music video. Antidepressants is due out September 5 via BMG. Check out “Disintegrate” below, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover artwork. Last week the band also released a live video for the album’s title track, recorded last year at their show at London’s Alexandra Palace. Watch that below too.

Antidepressants is the Britpop band’s 10th album and follows their 2022 album, Autofiction. Suede are Brett Anderson (vocals), Mat Osman (bass), Simon Gilbert (drums), Richard Oakes (guitars), and Neil Codling (keyboards).

Anderson had this to say about the album in a press release: “If Autofiction was our punk record, Antidepressants is our post-punk record. It’s about the tensions of modern life, the paranoia, the anxiety, the neurosis. We are all striving for connection in a disconnected world. This was the feel I wanted the songs to have. The album is called Antidepressants. This is broken music for broken people.”

Suede recorded the album live in the studio with longtime producer Ed Buller, who they first worked with on their debut single, “The Drowners,” way back in 1992. The band recorded at Belgium’s ICP Studios, in London at both RAK and Sleeper Sounds, and at RMV in Sweden.

“It is genuinely exciting being in this band. It feels like we’re still pushing creatively,” says Anderson of the new album.

Osman adds: “This is a widescreen and ambitious record. It’s a big stage record and it’s taking it up a gear.”

Suede have also announced four shows at London’s Southbank Centre they are describing as a Suede Takeover. They happen this September. On September 13 and 14 they will perform their hits and new music at the Royal Festival Hall. On September 17 the band will do a show at the Purcell Room that is described as “an unusual and intimate off-mic evening with Suede.” Then on September 19 Suede will perform in the Queen Elizabeth Hall with the Paraorchestra in what is “Suede’s first-ever full orchestral headline show.”

Anderson says of the Suede Takeover shows: “Expect old songs, new songs, borrowed songs, blue songs, drama, melody, noise, sweat and a couple of surprises.”

Suede were one of the leading lights of the mid-’90s Britpop movement, releasing a string of heralded hit albums: 1993’s Suede, 1994’s Dog Man Star, 1996’s Coming Up, and 1999’s Head Music, as well as 1997’s two-CD B-sides collection, Sci-Fi Lullabies.

Suede initially broke-up in 2003 following the release of their poorly received fifth album, 2002’s A New Morning. They reformed in 2010 and made a full on comeback in 2013 with the release of Bloodsports, which was their first new album in over a decade and was very well-received by critics. That was followed by 2016’s Night Thoughts, 2018’s The Blue Hour, and 2022’s Autofiction.

In 2019 we reflected on the 25th anniversary of Suede’s second album, Dog Man Star, and you read that retrospective here.

In the U.S. Suede technically go by the name The London Suede due to a legal case in the 1990s, but we always refer to them as just Suede.
