"This is broken music for broken people." Suede announce new album Antidepressants, share video for new single Disintegrate

Suede have announced a September release for their tenth album, Antidepressants, and have started to build anticipation for the record by sharing the video for its first single. Disintegrate.

The follow-up to 2022's Autofiction, their highest-charting record in over 20 years, Antidepressants will be released on September 5, via BMG.

In a statement announcing the release, frontman 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.”

“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.”
