Britpop legends Suede have just announced a new album, Night Thoughts, their seventh studio LP and their second since reuniting in 2010. Night Thoughts will be out early next year, and it’s going to be accompanied by a feature-length film directed by Roger Sargent, which will be released on DVD in a special album package. As NME reports, the album features a full string section, and it was recorded in London and Brussels with long-time producer Ed Buller. The band will premiere the record by performing the entire thing live 11/13 and 11/14 at London’s Roundhouse while the film plays behind them. This is what Sargent had to say about the film in a press release:

I was asked to pitch an idea for this film project … I really had no idea what they were wanting or expecting so I tried to write in the least self-conscious way possible. The record deals with a lot of familial themes — life, death, love, anguish and despair; themes that are expanded upon in its visual companion, providing a study of how those elements affect ?the human psyche. It resonated with me for many reasons, not least because my mother passed away a few days after I started writing a story for the film. The film starts with a man drowning in the waters of a deserted beach at night, as he fights for life, his mind plays out the events that lead him to be there.
