Suede have premiered the short film for their latest album ‘Autofiction’.
Ahead of the release of the group’s new long-player, the five-piece have shared an 18-minute film to accompany the record.
Directed and written by Katie Lambert and starring Noah Granville and Hannah Higton, the visual features the Suede songs She Still Leads Me On and 15 Again.
“The production explores the complexities of memory, the perceived truth, communication and anxiety in human relationships,” explains a press release.
“Themes at the core of Suede’s new album ‘Autofiction’, which, as its title suggests, is one of Brett Anderson’s most personal records yet.”
Of the project, Katie adds: “‘Autofiction’ is about that moment in a relationship when it’s crunch time. The moment when you’re at a certain age and forever feels incredibly close. When you’re not sure if you’re with the one, or if you could find another one, or if that’s a crap societal construction anyway.
“We loved the idea of creating a film which centres around a real-time night, and a gig – but that actually explores past, present and future all at once.
“Which is a mush and a mess of feelings; because isn’t that the memory soup we’re constantly swimming in anyway?”
‘Autofiction’ – Suede’s first album since 2018’s ‘The Blue Hour’ – is out September 16 and available to pre-order now. The group will play a run of intimate UK and European tour dates in October.
