===2014β2016: ''Night Thoughts''=== In late January 2014, Anderson announced that Suede were working on a new album and estimated that it would be released in 2015, as the band were still in the writing stage for the album.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/suede/75179|title=Brett Anderson reveals Suede are working on a new album|work=NME|date=30 January 2014|access-date=1 February 2014|archive-date=25 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150925084403/http://www.nme.com/news/suede/75179|url-status=live}}</ref> On 7 September 2015, the band announced that their new album, ''[[Night Thoughts (album)|Night Thoughts]]'', would be released on 22 January 2016, alongside a feature film directed by photographer Roger Sargent.<ref name="Night Thoughts">{{cite web |last=Monroe |first=Jazz |title=Suede Announce New Album Night Thoughts and Accompanying Film |url=https://pitchfork.com/news/61100-suede-announce-new-album-night-thoughts-and-accompanying-film/ |website=Pitchfork |access-date=4 December 2018 |date=7 September 2015 |archive-date=8 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190108173032/https://pitchfork.com/news/61100-suede-announce-new-album-night-thoughts-and-accompanying-film/ |url-status=live }}</ref> On 24 September, the first single from the album, "Outsiders," was released. The band performed the album in full on 13 and 14 November at the [[Roundhouse (venue)|London Roundhouse]].<ref name="Night Thoughts"/> The album was released as a standalone CD, as a double pack with the movie on DVD, and as a limited numbered edition featuring the CD, DVD, and a book. Anderson noted that, unlike previous albums, for the first time the band had the freedom to do their own thing. Without the pressure to aim for the mainstream, the band deliberately avoided writing any radio hits.<ref>{{cite news |title=Night Thoughts sees Suede feeling inspired again says Brett Anderson |url=http://www.irishnews.com/arts/2016/02/05/news/night-thoughts-sees-suede-feeling-inspired-again-says-brett-anderson-404143/ |newspaper=[[The Irish News]] |access-date=4 December 2018 |date=5 February 2016 |archive-date=4 December 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181204102206/http://www.irishnews.com/arts/2016/02/05/news/night-thoughts-sees-suede-feeling-inspired-again-says-brett-anderson-404143/ |url-status=live }}</ref> ''Night Thoughts'' was well received by both fans and critics, receiving widespread press coverage upon its release. Following the success of ''Bloodsports,'' ''Night Thoughts'' charted at No. 6 in the UK. A series of concert dates in the UK and Europe followed to support the album. The first half of each show featured the band playing the album tracks in sequence, with the movie projected onto a gauze screen behind them. The second half included a mix of back-catalogue material, including several b-sides and obscure songs. The band also held a number of in-store acoustic appearances in HMV stores to promote the release, including Q&A sessions and movie screenings.

Once again, the band performed as part of the Teenage Cancer Trust charity at the Royal Albert Hall on 30 March 2014. This time, the band performed ''[[Dog Man Star]]'' in full to mark its 20th anniversary. The set was followed by b-sides from that era, and then a greatest hits finale, which included the new song "I Don't Know How to Reach You".<ref>{{cite web |last=Wright |first=Lisa |title=Suede debut new track at 'Dog Man Star' 20th anniversary show for Teenage Cancer Trust |url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/suede-17-1238757 |work=NME |access-date=4 December 2018 |date=31 March 2014 |archive-date=4 December 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181204105432/https://www.nme.com/news/music/suede-17-1238757 |url-status=live }}</ref> Additionally, to celebrate the actual 20th anniversary release of the album, Suede released a limited edition box set in October 2014.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/suede-16-1237492|title=Suede to release 20th anniversary 'Dog Man Star' boxset|work=[[NME]]|last=Cooper|first=Leonie|date=29 August 2014|access-date=9 December 2016|archive-date=20 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220234128/http://www.nme.com/news/music/suede-16-1237492|url-status=live}}</ref> A similar 20th anniversary reissue was released for ''[[Coming Up (album)|Coming Up]]'' in September 2016.<ref>{{cite web |last=Earls |first=John |title=Suede to release deluxe edition of 'Coming Up' album |url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/suede-196-1193609 |work=NME |access-date=4 December 2018 |date=16 August 2016 |archive-date=4 December 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181204103829/https://www.nme.com/news/music/suede-196-1193609 |url-status=live }}</ref>
