Suede have today ironed out the final details of their new album ‘Bloodsports‘.
The tracklisting and a release date of March 18th have both been confirmed, while the song ‘It Starts and Ends with You‘ will be released as an official single on the day of the LP’s release.
Frontman Brett Anderson insisted last year Suede would only allow a new album to join their reunion party if they were completely satisfied with it, and when the album was subsequently confirmed last week, he described that period of studio sessions as a ‘year of sweating and bleeding over the record’.
“After a year of sweating and bleeding over the record it’s finally finished so we wanted to get some music out there as soon as we could,” he told NME. “‘Barriers’ isn’t the first single but we are proud enough of it to just chuck it out there and thought that its pulsing, romantic swell somehow summed up the feel of the album quite nicely.”

‘Barriers’
