Platinum-selling, Mercury Prize-winning, NME God Like Genius-certified giants of British independent music Suede release their new double A side single, ‘Antidepressants’ // ‘Sweet Kid’. Two stand out moments from the band’s new studio album Antidepressants, available now. Both songs are currently playlisted at BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio 2 respectively. A new lyric video for ‘Sweet Kid’ is released today here. Fans can watch Suede’s official live video for ‘Antidepressants’.
Speaking about ‘Antidepressants’, Brett Anderson said: “I don’t quite know what it’s about yet. I like not knowing what my songs are about. I like keeping myself guessing, and keeping everyone else guessing. It keeps it interesting. You can’t really tell whether the song is a celebration of antidepressants, or whether it’s a criticism of antidepressants. But it’s certainly a discussion about them. Medication has become an omnipresent condition in 21st century life. It felt like I had to sing something about it.”
Speaking about ‘Sweet Kid’, Brett said: “The song is about my relationship with my son. There’s a shadow of mortality there. There’s that feeling that I think every parent has, where their ultimate fear is that they’re not around to see their kids grow up. Which is always a possibility. No one really knows what’s around the corner. When I’m writing about my family I try not to make it too sweet. It’s too easy to write sickly songs about your family. I always try and put a little bit of grit in there.”
‘Antidepressants’ is the title track to Suede’s tenth album. Debuted live during Suede’s headline performance at the Isle Of Wight Festival Big Top, the first reactions to the band’s first new music since 2022 lit the touch paper for a major 2025.
The energy behind Suede has no sign of slowing. In 2026 the band will perform a sold out UK headline tour through January and February, before the Dancing With The Europeans Tour lands in Europe through March, with more activity to be announced this year.
Antidepressants is out now in multiple formats including, CD (standard and deluxe), vinyl LP (standard and colour variants), picture disc LP, cassette and as a deluxe box set. All formats are available here.
