The The
Live at the Eccles presents THE THE at the Eccles Theater, Wednesday, October 30 at 8p. ArtTix is the only official source of tickets for the Eccles Theater in downtown Salt Lake City. THE THE will soon be embarking on the Ensouled Tour, their first tour in North America for 6 years, after announcing their first studio album in a quarter century!
The Ensoulment tour contains echoes of THE THE’s multi-faceted musical past, however it is richly representative of the mercurial band’s here and now. ‘Zen & The Art Of Dating’ sees Matt Johnson return to the subject of desire, in the tradition of songs such as ‘Out Of The Blue (into the fire), ‘Dogs Of Lust’ and ‘Bluer Than Midnight’. He says the song concerns “seeking for connection in a landscape of superficial encounters. Yet at the same time it highlights the paradox that genuine love may only appear when one stops actively searching for it.”
“It is vital to be hopeful,” Johnson states. “And I hope people get out of the album what we put into it. It was created under very happy circumstances, with a great atmosphere amongst the band and all the people who worked on it. There was a lot of thought, a lot of work, a lot of love – and a lot of laughter!”
In the end, it may have been a long time coming, but Ensoulment is absolutely worth the w
