From Antidepressants (2025). Antidepressants is the tenth studio album by English rock band Suede, released on 5 September 2025 through BMG and produced by Ed Buller. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Suede's other songs from Antidepressants, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
