SUMMARY:Vinyl Sessions: The The - Soul Mining
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £4Doors open 12pm\, show starts at 12:30pmThis show is for a seated audience. \nThe bar will be open throughout. \nThe The / Soul Mining \nMost of us will muddle through the emotional intensity of late adolescence before moving on with the rest of our lives – but if you’re Matt Johnson\, you shut yourself away in the bedroom above the Stratford pub your parents run\, and channel all that self-doubt and sense of isolation into what will eventually become the deeply introspective lyrics of your debut album. ‘The The’ was essentially a loose collective of mates and session musicians with Johnson at the centre calling the creative shots\, and it was an approach that paid dividends on Soul Mining. Operating at a place where post-punk meets synthpop and landing somewhere neatly in the middle\, Johnson’s sometimes despondent words (‘Another year over and what have I done? / My aspirations have shrivelled in the sun’) are brought to vivid life here\, with walloping drums\, sparkling guitar figures and even a piano solo from a certain Jools Holland at one point. You won’t find many albums that could accommodate the wistful\, big-hearted warmth of a song like ‘This Is the Day’ AND the full-throttle\, beat-driven closing track ‘Giant’ – but this one did\, and went on to become an 80s cult classic that demands to be heard loud. \nThe album playback will be followed by a Q&A session. \nAfter a short break\, we’ll follow the album with our usual ‘Dead Wax’ session. Bring along a vinyl disc of your choice and hear a track from it played through the Arts Centre PA. This can be anything you like\, for any reason – the more ‘out there’ the better.
