We are from the band Suede and you are watching...
00:03
You're not watching, are you?
00:05
Hi.
00:09
Hi, my name is Brett Anderson.
00:11
I'm Matt Osmond.
00:12
And we are from the band Suede and we are speaking to the London Standard.
00:16
Antidepressants is what we have described as our post-punk record.
00:21
The last record we described as a punk record and this one is our post-punk record.
00:25
It's not an attempt to parody a genre.
00:29
It's just some of those influences thrown in. How would you describe it, Matt?
00:33
I think it's a really big, wide-screen, propulsive rock record.
00:40
Weirdly, I don't think it changes that much, does it?
00:43
We record a lot, we write a lot and we have really high standards.
00:48
So it's just a case of writing 50 or 60 songs to winnow out 10 that are really good.
00:55
I think it gets harder as you get older but it kind of gets more rewarding at the same time.
01:00
It was quite a strange experience for us because it's a bit of an art centre and it's quite grand and polite.
01:08
Yeah.
01:09
And I think at the time we didn't really know how to deal with those kind of venues.
01:13
I think it will be very different this time when we do it.
01:16
We're better at getting people out of their seats and getting them to rattle their jewellery.
01:21
I think the challenge is to learn how to work seated venues.
01:28
I think people, when audiences are in seated venues, they can sometimes sort of respond to them by being kind of quiet.
01:37
And it's important that suede gigs aren't quiet.
01:39
So we need a riotous response.
01:43
I find connection with music, you know, but with playing live gigs.
01:50
I mean, that for me is, that's when I'm really in my flow state as a human being.
01:55
That's when I'm not thinking about the past and I'm not thinking about the future.
01:59
I'm just thinking about the moment.
02:01
And it's a wonderful, wonderful thing.
02:04
I think live music is so, so important, increasingly important for people.
02:08
It gives people, it allows people to be sort of primitive and naive.
02:12
And I think that's a really precious thing to be in the 21st century.
