Suede announce new record Night Thoughts and accompanying feature film
Suede have announced a new album and a feature length accompanying film, both titled Night Thoughts.
The new record follows the success of 2013's Bloodsports, Suede's first album release since A New Morning and the ensuing band breakup in 2002.
Night Thoughts (the film) has been directed by esteemed photographer Roger Sargent, who says of the project:
"Suede and I have crossed paths a few times over the years. I sneaked onstage for their ‘93 Glastonbury show to get photos for NME... more recently I was asked directly to do some of the photography for the last album.
"I was asked to pitch an idea for this film project... I really had no idea what they were wanting or expecting so I tried to write in the least self-conscious way possible. The record deals with a lot of familial themes — life, death, love, anguish and despair; themes that are expanded upon in its visual companion, providing a study of how those elements affect the human psyche. It resonated with me for many reasons, not least because my mother passed away a few days after I started writing a story for the film. The film starts with a man drowning in the waters of a deserted beach at night, as he fights for life, his mind plays out the events that lead him to be there."
The band teased a big announcement last week with a shorter trailer; you can now also watch a 67-second trailer of the flick.
Suede will headline two nights at London's Roundhouse this November (13 and 14), performing the new record from start-to-finish against the backdrop of the film. It will be the world premiere of both works.
Night Thoughts is released 22 January 2016, with the film being available on DVD as part of a special album bundle.
