Cognitive Dissident: Conversations with The The’s Matt Johnson
An artist embodying every form of art possible as multifaceted creative outlets. Born out of years of conversation and collaboration with the Executive Director at the BFI, Jason Wood, the book goes beyond a retrospective into something more philosophical.
Dealing with dark matters of the heart and ever-relevant socio-political commentary, Johnson emerged from the post-punk landscape and continues to surprise and delight with his artistry decades later.
