An indestructible band

Suede frontman Brett Anderson has laid claim to the state of grace of a band that seems not to know what it means to grow old. "I don't think there's another band from our generation making records as vital as this," Anderson stresses, telling NME how the band's new direction draws on renewed post-punk energy without indulging in nostalgia for the 90s and the britpop era, of which Suede were among the absolute leading lights.

More than thirty years after their debut, Suede show a surprising vitality with a record that weaves together 70s British post-punk, razor-sharp riffs, theatrical ballads and dark atmospheres. From stadium-sized anthems to echoes of The Cure, the record confirms both their ability to reinvent themselves and the consistency that has accompanied them since the beginning.

According to Anderson, "Antidepressants" was born from a desire to push beyond the boundaries of "Autofiction", helped also by the increasingly incisive role of guitarist Richard Oakes, who brought in post-punk sounds and a more experimental approach. "We don't want to be a band that settles for the past or lives off memories. Every record is a creative challenge," explains the frontman, convinced that their music remains a way of seeking authentic connections in a fragmented world.

The live dimension remains a cornerstone of the Suede experience: special events have been announced in London, including orchestral shows and "off-mic" acoustic sets that recall the atmosphere of their earliest experiments in the '80s. After the winter 2026 tour, Anderson reveals he already has ideas for the band's eleventh album, confident that Suede's future will remain fertile and unpredictable.

The release of "Antidepressants" has reignited enthusiasm for the Suede saga. Born at the dawn of Cool Britannia in the 90s, and a major protagonist of the britpop era, Brett Anderson's band is one of the few acts from that era to have kept up a consistently high standard, renewing themselves while staying true to form. The British magazine Mojo pays tribute to them by publishing its ranking of what it considers their best albums, updated with their latest work. "Tested by egomania, hard drugs and britpop, Suede – Mojo writes in its introduction – keep moving forward with elegant strides: wiser, sturdier and more creative than ever. On 5 September the band released their tenth album, 'Antidepressants', which revisits the suburban post-punk influences of Brett Anderson and co.'s early days (Magazine, The Cult, Crass), while pointing decisively toward the future. To mark the release of 'Antidepressants', Victoria Segal ranks and rates every album by the band to date, from the glam of their 1993 debut, 'Suede', which foreshadowed britpop, to the raw, feral energy of 'Autofiction', the culminating point of their central period in 2022."
