Suede - To The Birds (bass cover)

Suede have an incredible back catalogue of music to their name but one of the finest moments is this song, the flipside to their debut single, The Drowners. One of the best b-sides ever, this #basslineteardown showcases Mat Osman's atmospheric bass from To The Birds.

This video is dedicated to my sister Jenny for 'introducing the band' to me around the time Dog Man Star was released. They've been a firm favourite ever since and are still making great music and performing with the same energy and passion as they did in the 90s.

Here's the original audio track from Suede's channel:
