Antidepressants is the upcoming tenth studio album by English rock band Suede, produced by Ed Buller.[2] The album is scheduled for release on 5 September 2025 through BMG.[1]
Background and recording
After the release of their 2022 album Autofiction, frontman Brett Anderson told NME that the band was already in the process of writing their next album, saying "The next record that we're planning to write, and have already started, is much more experimental."[4] In June 2024, before a performance at the Isle of Wight Festival, Anderson and bassist Mat Osman sat down for an interview with Ben Burrell for Absolute Radio, where the former revealed that the band was recording the album.[5] A year later, he said "If Autofiction was our punk record, Antidepressants is our post-punk record."[2] In Mojo, Anderson stated that the album, like its predecessor, took a guitar-led approach, with guitarist Richard Oakes elaborating how Autofiction stylistically allowed him draw upon early influences such as Keith Levene of Public Image Ltd, John McGeoch of Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Fall, and Wire. Originally, the album had the working title Broken Music for Broken People, which, like Antidepressants, is the name of a track.[6]
Promotion and singles
During the Isle of Wight Festival performance, Suede debuted a track from the forthcoming album, entitled "Antidepressants".[5] On 12 May 2025, the band released a video of a separate live performance of the song from the summer of 2024 at Alexandra Palace, London.[7] One week later, Suede revealed the lead single, "Disintegrate", with a black and white music video directed by Chris Turner. The single was also accompanied with details of the album, including the title, artwork, release date, and track listing.[1] Suede released two more singles, "Trance State" on 11 June[2] and "Dancing with the Europeans" on 28 July; the latter premiered with another video by Chris Turner[8] that was filmed during a gig at Bush Hall, London.[3]
In promotion for Antidepressants, the September 2025 issue of the UK magazine Mojo features the band on one of two alternate front covers, the other being Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys; the issue includes a 15-track covermount CD of Suede material with the title The Outsiders, containing the aforementioned performance of "Antidepressants" at Alexandra Palace.[9]
