Released on this day in 1993, Dusk marked a new creative peak for THE THE. A stripped-back, emotionally charged album that brought Matt Johnson’s voice and songwriting into sharper focus than ever, it featured standout tracks like ‘Slow Emotion Replay’, ‘Dogs of Lust’ and ‘Love Is Stronger Than Death’, songs that still resonate more than three decades on. Critics said “A minor masterpiece of major proportions” (Time Out), “Songs written in the language of raw need.” (ROLLING STONE) and “Your record collection needs this record.” (NME). What are your memories of Dusk? #thethe #mattjohnson #dusk

This month marks the 41st anniversary of 𝑆𝑜𝑢𝑙 𝑀𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔, THE THE’s landmark debut album. Released in October 1983, it fused post-punk, synth-pop and lyrical introspection into something entirely its own. From the euphoric ‘This Is the Day’ to the anthemic closer ‘Giant’, 𝑆𝑜𝑢𝑙 𝑀𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 still resonates all these years on. Did you buy it at the time? #thethe #mattjohnson #soulmining #anniversary #thisistheday
