Suede let slip details about the upcoming third album in their current “black and white” trilogy during their recent show at London’s Southbank Centre.
The rockers took to the stage for a sold-out In The Round show on Tuesday (August 28) with a full performance of their forthcoming album, ‘Antidepressants‘, weeks ahead of its release.
Declaring themselves to be “the anti-nostalgia band”, frontman Brett Anderson went on to discuss Suede’s ongoing creative endeavours and the record that’s set to follow 2022’s ‘Autofiction’ and ‘Antidepressants’, which drops on September 5.
Introducing the closing track on the album, he said: “Thank you so much. This is our second black and white album of the 2020s. There will be a third black and white album. And then we will go to a different colour!
“This is the last song on the second album of our black and white period. This is Life Is Endless, Life Is A Moment.”
The band are hosting a six-date residency, dubbed Suede’s Takeover, at the Southbank Centre, which runs through September 19.
The run begins at the Royal Festival Hall on September 12 in the Purcell Room, where Suede will revisit the up-close-and-personal 2018 documentary, ‘The Insatiable Ones’, for an in-conversation event with Miranda Sawyer and director Mike Christie.
Subsequently, on September 13 and 14, they will play “two sets of Suede’s fiercely loved classics, hits and new music”, followed by a performance in the Purcell Room on September 17 in what’s said to be 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.
