London’s glam rock/pop celebs SUEDE orchestrated by their never aging
frontman Brett Anderson, have their 10th LP, baptized ANTIDEPRESSANTS
out today.
Press info: “The album is a milestone achievement that sees the band at the top of their game. It follows the success of their critically acclaimed ninth UK Top 10 album Autofiction, released in September 2022, which charted at No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart and was their highest-charting release in over 20 years.”
Uncut Magazine (British music monthly) “Antidepressants is the most unhinged,
intoxicating Suede album since Coming Up, and boasts the best first side of a goth
album since the Banshees’ Juju.”

TUTV: On their last albums, guitars dominate way more than on their first 3/4 ones, creating a wall of elevating electricity with an epic sonority. It results in more rock swagger than pop sensibility, even when they slow down (Somewhere Between An Atom And A Star and June Rain) guitars have an overpowering impact. Only Brett Anderson melodramatic
can compete with them. His hypersensitive vocality is always present upfront and an instrumental factor for Suede‘s glamorous aura.
And the songs themselves? The singles (Dancing With Europeans / Trance State and Disintegrate) and the title track stand out. Their anthemic puissance hits your ears with huge fervidness. The other 7 songs try to have the very same impact but try too hard
to do so.
Mind you, most of them have an adrenalizing quality, but not enough to make the whole album a 5-star one. Yet, many other bands would sell their soul to have the necessary craftsmanship to write tunes like Anderson & Co still do today.
