Daily noise that works faster than a stream of caffeine

20 May 2024

THE THE, the musical project of London‘s veteran psych-pop songsmith
MATT JOHNSON started its journey 45 years ago. The Smiths‘ former
guitar hero Johnny Marr was a TT member for a long time. The The‘s eight
longplayer NakedSelf is the most recent album. It came out in 2000.

Thereafter, it was time for a pause until 2017, with The The that is, except
for an only download single in 2007. Johnson started writing soundtracks
for several documentaries.

Finally now, the news came in that Johnson wrote/recorded album #9. He named
it ENSOULMENT and it’ll see the day of light on September 6. Pre-order info here.

COGNITIVE DISSIDENT is the first single. Johnson wrote it with guitarist Barrie Cadoga.
It’s a bouncing bass pulsating and foot-stomping groove that draws’ your ears attention from the get-go.

Wake up, people
THE THE is back.
