“i think brett anderson has a truly incredible way with words that is so obvious from his songwriting alone but is just incredible in this book. suede are my favorite band so i was always gonna love this, with its insights into each album and the formation of songs, but I think even if i barely knew who they were i’d still have liked this book. just a really good read”

“Suede's Brett Anderson delves into the rollercoaster journey of one of Britpop's standout bands, unveiling the intricacies of chart-topping triumphs, creative clashes, and personal struggles in his second memoir, Afternoons with the Blinds Drawn.
It’s refreshing how self-aware Brett is when acknowledging the predictable paint by number formula of autobiographies while recognising that their main purpose should be self-exploration by unpicking the past. Throughout his documented experience in the music industry, he explores conversations rarely broached such as the overpopulation of the upper class in the business and the relentless chase of the replication of success.
Unlike his previous memoir, Afternoons with the Blinds Drawn ends abruptly which doesn’t really offer a sense of finality. I also caught myself rolling my eyes at Brett’s pretentiousness a few times but his intelligence and idiosyncrasies overpower the sometimes dislikable narration as he is able to provide fresh perspectives that evoke enlightening discussion.
