brett anderson – singing meet brett anderson, the undisputed leader of the band, a lithe, svelte karma chameleon who, as coming up proves, is at least twenty times better than anyone ever dared contemplate. the pied piper of the nuclear age, he inspires a rabid, almost religious devotion from his followers. with the arrival of two new songwriting partners and a long overdue collaboration with mat osman, brett has shattered any illusions that his composing skills are limited to clever wordplay. anyone still in doubt should turn immediately to the entirely self-penned by the sea. he’s duetted with terence trent d’arby, provided backing vocals (along with richard) on strangelove’s latest album, recorded in french with legendary chanteuse jane birkin, overseen the artwork for all matter of suede paraphernalia – many of the original ideas for record sleeves and videos are his – and mastered all manner of instruments that he’s just not letting on about yet.yet despite all the accolades and attention brett anderson remains astonishingly down to earth, preferring a night watching ipswich town on the box to reading byron in some lofty ivory tower. his dad really is a cabbie (albeit a slightly eccentric one with a penchant for liszt and a habit of raising the union jack on his three heroes’ birthdays – the others being churchill and nelson). his best friend really does work in a chip shop. from his haywards heath classroom days when he wore a yellow suit in emulation of david bowie, brett anderson has had his feet in the gutter and his heart in the stars. |
