As one music critic observed, Suede’s swaggering, self-consciously arty intensity was especially seductive to a generation of misfits and dreamers turned off by lager and laddism. Theirs was an innately English aesthetic, and they sounded quite unlike anything around at the time.
“We wrote about drama and sex, poverty and passion – subjects that hadn’t been touched on in pop music for years,” says Anderson. “We wanted to pick over the minutiae of British life and celebrate it. We pretty much kicked off what became Britpop, and for a very limited time, we were proud of that.”
At the age of 22, Anderson, who cultivated a Bowiesque androgynous look which was a homage to his 1970s music heroes rather than a reflection of his sexuality, became, albeit briefly, one of the best best-known faces of his generation.
Brett Anderson is still proud of Suede s third album Coming Up
The Beautiful Ones hitmaker views the group s third LP as an odd little pop record but he loves the fact it still represents a snapshot of the Britpop era and admires the lighthearted touch to the songs he wrote for the album.
He said: “It s a strange record. It s a sort of an odd little pop record but it kind of summed up a little bit of a moment in 1996, which is nice and kind of what you do as a musician (and) that you hope to do as a writer.
