Odyssey (A Soundtrack By The The)(Deluxe)

THE THEs driving force Matt Johnson continues his creative resurgence with Odyssey, his fifth original soundtrack. Written, performed, and produced entirely by Johnson at his London base, Studio Cinéola, the album accompanies Gerard Johnsons new film a stylish, blackly comic metaphysical thriller set against Londons housing crisis and themes of greed, addiction, and survival.
The soundtracks 19 tracks draw on minimal electronic funk, pulsing motorik rhythms, and shadowy ambience, capturing the films tense, surreal tone. Johnson plays every instrument himself, with Gillian Glover contributing vocals on Unrequited and Live & Let Live, also available as a limited 7 single.
