ENSOULMENT

Released on 6th September 2024, Ensoulment was THE THE’s first studio album of new songs in a quarter century! The 12 songs on this album encompass characteristic topics ranging from love & sex, war & politics, life & death – to the meaning of what it is to be human in the 21st century.

Singer-songwriter Matt Johnson was joined by long-standing THE THE members James Eller (bass), DC Collard (keyboards), Earl Harvin (drums), and Barrie Cadogan (lead guitar). The album also marked the return of co- producer and engineer Warne Livesey, who previously worked on landmark THE THE albums Infected (1986) and Mind Bomb (1989). Additional performances include Gillian Glover (backing vocals), Terry Edwards (horns), Sonya Cullingford (fiddle) and Danny Cummings (percussion).
