Suede have announced their ninth studio album. Titled Autofiction, it's due in September and is, according to frontman Brett Anderson, "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."

'She Still Leads Me On' is their massive first single: it may not be that punk just yet, but it certainly is anthemic. We're getting The Killers from the singalong chorus and desperately euphoric guitars.

“When we were rehearsing and writing this record it was this sheer, physical rush. That thing where you're hanging on for dear life,” bassist Mat Osman said of getting back in a studio together. 

Suede will play two nights at Camden's Electric Ballroom on 5 and 6 May.

1. She Still Leads Me On
