"Brett Anderson" is the first solo release from former Suede and current The Tears frontman Brett Anderson.

In May 2006, Anderson announced sketchy details for the album. He told "NME" that the title will be 'Brett Anderson' since "...that's my name, you see."

The album was recorded whilst Anderson was recording The Tears' debut album alongside Bernard Butler.

Anderson has described the record as being "...quite orchestrated, lots of string loops, that sort of thing. I guess there's a Scott Walker feel to it. I'm very proud of it; it's a very exciting record for me."

The album sees Anderson taking on many more instruments than ever before. "I've played a lot of electric guitar on it; I've written a lot of the electric guitar parts. It's my baby and I've obviously been pretty obsessed with it."

The cover was designed by Peter Saville, with photography by Wolfgang Tillmans.
