As Suede began work on the songs that would become ‘Autofiction’, they decided to go back to basics. In a move that recalled their most formative days, Brett Anderson, Mat Osman, Simon Gilbert, Richard Oakes and Neil Codling schlepped to a rehearsal studio in deserted Kings Cross to collect a key, hump their own gear, set up and start playing. Speaking about the album, Brett Anderson said: ‘Autofiction is our punk record. No whistles and bells. Just the five of us in a room with all the glitches and f***-ups revealed; the band themselves exposed in all their primal mess’. This expanded version of the album features additional b-sides as well as an ‘Autofiction’ live album recorded on their March 2023 UK tour.
