Brett Anderson has said Suede are busy writing fresh material with a view to releasing a new album next year.
“We want to carry on writing and pushing forward, so we’re taking it somewhere else now,” he revealed to NME. “I think it’ll be out next year, as we’re just writing at the moment so realistically it will be next year.”
After returning to the live scene in 2010, Suede added a studio album to their reunion when ‘Bloodsports‘ was unleashed in the March of last year. Anderson was speaking following the band’s addition to the line-up for this year’s Teenage Cancer Trust series of concerts at the Royal Albert Hall in London – a show which will see them revisiting the site of their comeback four years ago.
“That was our comeback show,” Anderson remembered. “We hadn’t played for seven or eight years and as a result it was a very emotional night. The Albert Hall is a very special venue too, I’ve got a lot of great memories of that place from down the years. Lots of elements like that made for an amazing show and if I had to choose my favourite show from 25 years of playing live it would be that one.”
