{{Main|Dusk (The The album)}}

''[[Dusk]]'' (1993) continued the collaboration with Johnny Marr and further deepened The The's blues and Americana influences. Darker and more introspective than its predecessor, the album dealt with depression, longing, and mortality.

Highlights include:
* '''"Love Is Stronger Than Death"''' — written in memory of Johnson's brother Eugene
* '''"Slow Emotion Replay"'''
* '''"Dogs of Lust"'''
* '''"This Is the Night"'''

''Dusk'' reached number 2 on the [[UK Albums Chart]] and remains one of the most beloved albums in the band's catalogue. It marked the end of a particularly fertile creative period, and was followed by a long hiatus.
