Producer Ed Buller recorded the record with Suede at Konk Studios in London. In a statement, singer Brett Anderson said: “car fiction is our punk record. No whistles and bells. Just the five of us in a room with all the glitches and fuck-ups revealed; the band themselves exposed in all their primal mess.”
Suede announced their new album on Instagram on Tuesday as follows:
Suede formed in London in 1989. Their debut SUEDE was released in 1993. Thanks to this and the two successors DOG MAN STAR (1994) and COMING UP, they belonged to the so-called Big Four of Britpop at the time, along with Oasis, Blur and Pulp. The band broke up in 2003 and got back together in 2010. Their current album THE BLUE HOUR was released in 2018. In the USA, the band is known as The London Suede because a pop and jazz singer of the same name sued against the use of her name there.
