书籍简介

一个令人信服的英国乐队的戏剧性的个人记录 "尼尔-坦南特

Suede乐队的发展轨迹--在初创时期被誉为 "英国好的新乐队 "和 "流氓的南方人"--由其主唱布雷特-安德森以动人的坦率回忆，其生动的回忆录在温柔、诙谐、动荡、欣喜和苦乐之间无缝切换。

Suede乐队开始时走的是伦敦90年代新兴独立乐队熟悉的打工路线--在ULU、Camden Powerhaus和Windsor的Old Trout演出--以及为一个观众演出的令人沮丧的经历。但在这些光辉的日子里，他们的潜力是不可否认的。安德森与吉他手伯纳德-巴特勒（Bernard Butler）的创造性合作揭示了一种独特的、辉煌的抒情和声音的混合体；他们是一个发光的团队--燃烧着光芒，创造了这个时代值得尊敬的一些歌曲和专辑。

在《拉下百叶窗的午后》中，安德森毫不犹豫地探讨了他与毒瘾的关系，对早期的音乐纽带被切断表示遗憾，并对他年轻时的形象保持清醒。作为一个年轻人......。我在病态的自我反省和虚荣的自恋之间摇摆不定"，他写道。他的诚实、敏锐的自我意识和清晰的表达，使这本书成为一本引人注目的自传，也是对上个四分之一世纪重要的乐队之一的精彩洞察。

'A compelling personal account of the dramas of a singular British band' Neil Tennant

The trajectory of Suede - hailed in infancy as both 'The Best New Band in Britain' and 'effete southern wankers' - is recalled with moving candour by its frontman Brett Anderson, whose vivid memoir swings seamlessly between the tender, witty, turbulent, euphoric and bittersweet.

Suede began by treading the familiar jobbing route of London's emerging new 1990s indie bands - gigs at ULU, the Camden Powerhaus and the Old Trout in Windsor - and the dispiriting experience of playing a set to an audience of one. But in these halcyon days, their potential was undeniable. Anderson's creative partnership with guitarist Bernard Butler exposed a unique and brilliant hybrid of lyric and sound; together they were a luminescent team - burning brightly and creating some of the era's most revered songs and albums.

In Afternoons with the Blinds drawn, Anderson unflinchingly explores his relationship with addiction, heartfelt in the regret that early musical bonds were severed, and clear-eyed on his youthful persona. 'As a young man . . . I oscillated between morbid self-reflection and vainglorious narcissism' he writes. His honesty, sharply self-aware and articulate, makes this a compelling autobiography, and a brilliant insight into one of the most significant bands of the last quarter century.
