The latest offering from The The, 'Linoleum Smooth To The Stockinged Foot,' emerges as a deeply personal and haunting track, showcasing Matt Johnson's evocative songwriting amidst a backdrop of surrealism and introspection. Penned during Johnson's recovery from a critical surgery, the lyrics resonate with introspective depth, capturing a hallucinogenic journey heightened by discordant horns and fiddle arrangements. This release stands out for its collaborative spirit, featuring guest musicians like Sonya Cullingford on fiddle, Terry Edwards on horns and Gillian Glover on backing vocals, all contributing to the song's atmospheric complexity. The single cover, features artwork by Johnson's late brother Andrew (Andy Dog), adds a poignant layer to an already compelling release.
