English rock band Suede previewed a new track, “Antidepressants”, at their recent set at Isle of Wight 2024. Frontman Brett Anderson introduced the song after performing the hit “Filmstar”.

The band has yet to announce the official release date for the song on streaming platforms.
Isle of Wight 2024 had several performances from other artists including Pet Shop Boys, Keane, Loreen, Blossoms and Jessie J.
In 2022, Anderson and bassist Mat Osman explained in an interview that their tenth album, which was already in progress, is experimental and still untitled.
