Suede set to return with 10th studio album ‘Antidepressants’

Suede are set to return with their tenth studio album, Antidepressants, and share lead single, Disintegrate.

Antidepressants finds the band charged with the same energy that defines the unique power of their live shows. Since the release of 2022’s Autofiction – Suede’s widely acclaimed ninth album and their highest-charting record in over 20 years, debuting at No.2 in the UK Album Chart – the band has performed to the largest audiences of their career at shows in more than 14 different countries.

Introducing Suede’s tenth album, Brett Anderson says: “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.”

Antidepressants fully realises the fourth phase of Suede’s career and sees Brett Anderson undertaking some of his most personal songwriting. First single Disintegrate is testament to this reflection, an anthemic acceptance of one’s own mortality flipping our universal fear of death into a dark celebration of demise, symbolic of the duality of Antidepressants.

The official music video – directed by Chris Turner (Favourite Colour: Black Productions) – is shot in black and white and pares Suede’s live performance down to its starkest essence, glitching and distorting toward visual ruin.

Broken Music For Broken People

As Suede started to create the new music that would shape Antidepressants, they did a complete about-face. What initially began life as the soundtrack to a conceptual performance art piece was put on ice. The mass communal experience that Suede encountered during the past three years of touring Autofiction was so magnetic that the band had to completely change what they were going to do next. In 2025, Suede are translating their approach to playing in front of a live audience directly into their new studio album.

Antidepressants was recorded live with Suede’s long-time producer Ed Buller, who first worked with the band when he produced their debut single The Drowners in 1992. Yet, 35 years into their career, Suede feel they are just starting. “It is genuinely exciting being in this band. It feels like we’re still pushing creatively,” says Brett of the new album. “This is a widescreen and ambitious record,” adds bass player Mat Osman. “It’s a big stage record and it’s taking it up a gear.”

A new live performance video for Antidepressants’ title track, filmed at Alexandra Palace in summer 2024 and edited and directed by drummer Simon Gilbert, was recently released to a rush of excitement from fans.

Suede Takeover 2025 Dates

The release of Antidepressants will be surrounded by Suede Takeover – a special concert series over four nights hosted in different venues across London’s Southbank Centre throughout September 2025. Suede Takeover is a full circle moment as the band return to the Southbank Centre for the first time since performing at the Royal Festival Hall for David Bowie’s Meltdown in 2002.

The performances will see Suede present their live show in completely new ways, stretching beyond the format of a rock gig. Brett Anderson said: “Expect old songs, new songs, borrowed songs, blue songs, drama, melody, noise, sweat and a couple of surprises.”

14 September – London, Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre
17 September – London, Purcell Room, Southbank Centre
