'This is broken music for broken people': Suede to release 10th album Antidepressants in September
Suede are set to release their 10th studio album, 'Antidepressants', on September 5. The Brett Anderson-led band are gearing up to release the follow-up to 2022's Autofiction - their highest-charting record in over 20 years, which reached number two in the UK Album Chart - which has been dubbed "broken music for broken people" by the 57-year-old singer. Suede have also shared the brooding lead single, 'Disintegrate'; an "anthemic acceptance of one's own mortality flipping our universal fear of death into a dark celebration of demise." Brett said: '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.' A press release notes how: "In 2025, Suede are translating their approach to playing in front of a live audience directly into their new studio album." Suede have once again teamed up with long-time producer Ed Buller on the collection. Many bands would get jaded by the creative process 36 years in - but not Suede. Brett said: 'It is genuinely exciting being in this band. It feels like we're still pushing creatively. 'This is a widescreen and ambitious record." Bass player Mat Osman added: 'It's a big stage record and it's taking it up a gear." The lyrics are "some of" Brett's "most personal" to date. The album unveiling comes after Suede shared a live performance video for the album's title track filmed at their concert at London's Alexandra Palace last summer. What's more, the band announced the 'Suede Takeover' concert series, which will take place over four nights at various venues at London's Southbank Centre this September. It will mark the first time the rock band has played the Southbank Centre since they stepped onstage at the Royal Festival Hall for late music legend David Bowie's Meltdown Festival in 2002. Gig-gores can expect Suede to "present their live show in completely new ways, stretching beyond the format of a rock gig. Brett said: 'Expect old songs, new songs, borrowed songs, blue songs, drama, melody, noise, sweat and a couple of surprises.' 'Suede Takeover' begins at the Royal Festival Hall on September 13 and 14, with two surprise sets of music old and new. On September 17, the band will perform in the Purcell Room for what is being billed as an "unusual and intimate off-mic evening". The residency concludes on September 19 in the Queen Elizabeth Hall, with Suede's first-ever full orchestral headline show, in collaboration with the Paraorchestra. Southbank Centre members can access an exclusive ticket presale on May 21 at 10am. Fans who pre-order the album from the official Suede store can access a presale from May 22 at 10am. General on sale begins on May 23 at 10am via 'Antidepressants' will be available in multiple formats including CD (standard and deluxe), vinyl (standard and colour variants), picture disc LP, cassette and as a deluxe box set. Pre-orders are available now.

Travis Kelce attends Justin Timberlake's 8AM Invitational without Taylor Swift (Getty Images) Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce made his highly anticipated public appearance on Friday at Justin Timberlake's 8AM Invitational charity golf tournament, held at the luxurious Wynn Las Vegas. While fans were excited to see Kelce back in the spotlight, many couldn't help but notice one major absence—his girlfriend, Taylor Swift , was nowhere to be found. Travis Kelce attends Justin Timberlake's 8AM Invitational without Taylor Swift According to reports, the couple decided to spend some time apart following a period of intense togetherness. With Kelce currently in the NFL offseason and Swift on a much-needed break after nearly two relentless years on the road for her record-breaking " Eras Tour ," it seems the two are savoring a rare moment of independence before their schedules pick up again.

IC Markets Start Now Undo Taylor Swift's 'The Tortured Poets Department' makes a triumphant return to No. 1 Even though Taylor Swift wasn't physically present at the event, her influence was still felt in the entertainment world. On Friday, Swift's team revealed some thrilling news: her album, The Tortured Poets Department, first released on April 19, 2024, would be getting a new signed CD variant to celebrate its first anniversary. The excitement surrounding the re-release was palpable. According to Billboard, the album skyrocketed up the charts, climbing an astonishing 23 spots to reclaim the No. 1 position on the UK Album Chart . 'TTPD' now holds the impressive record of spending 11 non-consecutive weeks at the top, the longest reign for any of Swift's albums in the UK. This chart-topping success is even more remarkable given that Swift hasn't released any new music for over a year. Yet, her enduring popularity proves that fans remain as hungry as ever for anything bearing her name. While Swift's camp has remained tight-lipped about her next project, reports suggest that TAYLOR SWIFT has indeed been "making music," sparking hopes that a new album could be on the horizon later this year. Until then, Swifties are left to celebrate her ongoing success and speculate eagerly about what's coming next. Also Read: Was Travis Kelce's beau Taylor Swift hurt by Blake Lively's lawsuit?
