Suede Is Crucial Cut

Here's an image I recommend

Suede's first eponymous album was chosen as this week's crucial cut, once again, in the Sunday Times. They say :-

"The British rock scene was in a pretty torpid state in the early 1990's (and) media interest in a band of ambitious twenty somethings with a Bowie-fixated singer and a guitarist who could actually play was consequently intense.

As the first track, So Young, made abundantly clear, Brett Anderson had spent a lot of time listening to David Bowie's early album Hunky Dory, and had developed a similarly assertive, slightly yodelly way of delivering a melody. He sounded sexually ambiguous and determinedly decadent, particularly when he urged "chasing the dragon" in a shrill falsetto.

More about Suede, including audio clips of this album, here.

For those of you who remember David's famous meeting with Brett Anderson, you can send an e-card of that NME cover, here.

Thanks, Spaceface!
