After a quarter century away from the studio, Matt Johnson returns with Ensoulment, the long-awaited first album of new material from The The since 1993. The 12 tracks span the full emotional and thematic breadth that fans have come to expect from this iconic project, exploring love and sex, war and politics, and life and death with Johnson's characteristically unflinching honesty.
Ensoulment is a deeply personal record, featuring artwork from the previously unpublished works of Johnson's late brother Andrew Johnson — a poignant tribute woven throughout the album's visual identity. Recorded at the legendary Real World Studios and Studio Cinéola in London, the album is presented in a stunning gatefold jacket alongside an exquisitely designed 32-page full-color booklet featuring photos and lyrics, making this a truly immersive listening experience for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
