Matt Johnson’s band is back with Ensoulment—listen to “Cognitive Dissident”
The The are back with Ensoulment, their first album since 2000. The Matt Johnson–led band will hit the road, too, traversing North America in the autumn, between dates in Europe, New Zealand, and Australia. Below, find the dates and listen to “Cognitive Dissident,” from the LP. The album arrives September 6 (via Cinéola/EarMusic).
Back in 2017, Johnson reformed the The to release the Johnny Marr–featuring “You Can’t Stop What’s Coming,” which was then their first new music in 15 years. A box set and tour followed that year, including new recordings of old songs, though Ensoulment is the band’s formal follow-up to NakedSelf. Johnson primarily worked with his old bandmates James Eller, DC Collard, Earl Harvin, and Barrie Cadogan, alongside co-producer and engineer Warne Livesey.
