The Return of The The

Ensoulment is THE THE’s first studio album of new songs in a quarter century. This 12-song album was released on Cinéola / earMUSIC on September 6, 2024.

Encompassing characteristic topics ranging from love & sex, war & politics, life & death – to the meaning of what it is to be human in the 21st century – Ensoulment was written, demoed and mixed at Studio Cinéola in London, the base of THE THE’s main creative force, Matt Johnson.

To celebrate the release, Matt Johnson has gotten the band back together for a world tour through Europe, North America, Australia, and New Zealand including nearby stops in Philadelphia and New York.

Matt spoke with General Manager Paul Krempasky about the new record, the creative process and more. You can listen to the conversation below.
