The The - Unrequited / Live & Let Live (7")

This strictly limited 7” vinyl single features the unreleased songs  ‘Unrequited’ and ‘Live & Let Live’, taken from the soundtrack of the upcoming film Odyssey, directed by Gerrard Johnson, Matt Johnson’s brother. The music was written and produced by Matt Johnson himself, recorded at Studio Cinéola in London. He played all instruments himself, combining minimal electronic funk, motorik beats, and eerie atmospherics, with Gillian Glover joining him on vocals for both tracks featured on this single. The sleeves feature two powerful – and previously unseen – artworks by Matt’s late brother, Andy Dog. 

The full film Odyssey, a stylish, blackly comic metaphysical thriller set in the shadows of London’s housing crisis and the ruthless world of greed, addiction, and survival, will be released in November.
