S6E254 - The The 'Dusk' with Marcia Potts
While many fans of British band The The (aka Matt Johnson) might immediately point to earlier albums Soul Mining or Mind Bomb as proof-of-concept, this week's guest Marcia Potts brings us 1993's 'Dusk' to consider. With a crack band - including guitarist/harmonicist Johnny Marr - in tow, Johnson's songs of lust, love and a blacker-than-black worldview hit all the right notes, and it's a lush, provocative ride from start to finish.
