Suede have announced that the recording of a new album is under way, and it’s going to be “noisy”, “unhinged” and “raw”. Check out a live preview below.Speaking at the Isle of Wight Festival 2024 over the weekend, Brett Anderson said he was “very excited” about the direction of the Britpop band’s forthcoming tenth studio record, which follows 2022’s ‘Autofiction‘.“We’ve started recording it.

It’s gonna to be noisy. It’s gonna to be strange,” he told Absolute Radio. “It’s gonna be more desperate and neurotic than ‘Autofiction.’ It’s more unhinged, and, in a way, kind of like straighter and more honest.

Lots of the subject matter is quite exposed and raw, and just sort of playing in lots of ways. There’s no poetry on it. It’s just sort of like saying the way I feel about things.”They debuted a new track titled ‘Antidepressants’ during their set at the festival on June 23, which was captured on video by a fan.

Based around urgent post-punk guitar riffs and a typically Suede anthemic chorus, the song offers a preview of their self-described “raw”, new era.
