Album review: Bloodsport – Suede


BLOODSPORTS
Suede
(Warner)

It’s been well over a decade since the last Suede album and yet their new album is such a natural progression of what’s come before that the cellular memory kicks in straight away.

And while singer Brett Anderson and guitarist Bernard Fanning might have appeared to have mended their errant ways with their duel project The Tears it hasn’t led to a full reconciliation.

However, the 2013 version of Suede is still as relevant to Britpop as the band ever was with some stunning new indie-style epics such as Barriers, What Are You Not Telling me and It Starts With Me And Ends With You that indicate Anderson has got his half-crazed “demon back”.
