THE THE announces their first new album in a quarter of a century – Ensoulment is out 6th September
With an ever-evolving ensemble, THE THE has always been, and always will be, synonymous with Matt Johnson, its founder and lead vocalist since the band's inception in 1979 in London.
Getting worldwide attention with the critically lauded 1983 synth-noir masterpiece "Soul Mining," THE THE achieved international acclaim with their 1986 album "Infected." This album featured the politically charged hits "Sweet Bird Of Truth" and "Heartland," solidifying the band's reputation for producing unique, prescient, and impassioned songs that resonate with fundamental human truths, always transcending fleeting trends.
After a hiatus spanning over two decades, during which Matt Johnson pursued various projects, he made a triumphant return in 2021 with THE THE's chart-topping live album "The Comeback Special." Now, he graces the music scene with fresh compositions for the first time in 24 years, continuing the band's legacy of creating timeless music.
THE PRODUCT
"Ensoulment" is THE THE's eagerly awaited 8th studio album and their first long-player since "NakedSelf" in 2000. It delivers 12 new tracks that range from sharp social and political insights in songs such as "Kissing The Ring Of POTUS" to intimate personal narratives like "Some Days I Drink My Coffee By The Grave Of William Blake".
Matt Johnson, in collaboration with Warne Livesey, has produced an album that honors THE THE's distinctive sound while embracing contemporary relevance with a vibrant tapestry of sound that weaves together the band's legacy with fresh, invigorating tracks.
