Suede frontman Brett Anderson has revealed the band are looking for a return to the sound of their Nineties heyday as work continues on a new album following their successful run of reunion tours during the past 18 months.
In telling The Quietus that the new record will ‘not sound anything like’ their last studio effort, 2002’s ‘A New Morning‘, Anderson explained it is shaping up to be more of ‘a cross between bits of ‘Dog Man Star’ and bits of ‘Coming Up’, before adding:
“Without wishing to be facetious, it sounds like Suede. We’re not trying to reinvent the sound of the band, that’d be a disastrous thing to do. I think that’s possibly where we went wrong on the last two albums.”
“A lot of the writing process for me is throwing stuff away, because you’re finding out what you want to do. There was a lot of that, and we discarded quite a few songs. Early this year we started hitting on the sort of songs that we were aiming to write, and it’s sounding really good now.”
