Suede. Featuring Brett Anderson.

Suede, led by the incomparable vocalist Brett Anderson, ascended meteorically to the pinnacle of British musicdom once their debut album was released in 1993. They were formed, however, in 1989; their sound changed profoundly when Justine Frischmann was jettisoned in 1991. Improved chemistry/esprit de corps was cited by then guitarist Bernard Butler. Before long, world domination had been achieved.

And so we have…..the haunting She’s Not Dead {But it doesn’t look good}; the nonpareil ballad Sleeping Pills, arguably the greatest “Sweet F.A.”-mentioning song ever; the ΓΌber enthrallment-inducing Still Life; and the uncanny, irresistible aquatic mammalian allure of So Young.
