The The's extraordinary album Dusk was released on this day in 1993.
The critically acclaimed album is considered one of the influential band's best, with notable songs "Love Is Stronger Than Death" (written as a tribute after the death of Matt Johnson's brother Eugene), "Dogs Of Lust," "Lonely Planet," and so many more. This is the second and final The The album to include Johnny Marr; Marr plays guitar and harmonica, as well as some bass and backing vocals.
The record may be 25 years old, but it's still thematically and musically vital and relevant. Envelope yourself in the brilliant, melancholic yet uplifting world of Matt Johnson.
