The The, an influential band led by Matt Johnson, is poised to make a significant return with their upcoming album, "Ensoulment," set to release on September 6, 2024. This marks their first album in nearly 25 years, following "Naked Self" in 2000. Known for their thought-provoking lyricism, The The’s music tackles the challenging themes of contemporary society, including the growing prevalence of misinformation and authoritarianism.

Their first single, "Cognitive Dissident," released earlier this year, reflects these concerns and critiques the current state of politics and media, expressing a deep fear of society's descent into an Orwellian reality where expressing dissenting opinions has become increasingly perilous. Fans can anticipate that "Ensoulment" will delve into what it means to be human in the 21st century while resonating deeply with listeners through its rich, multifaceted narratives. The The continues to inspire reflection and discourse through their innovative sound and artistic vision
