![Joy Division: Closer [FACTORY / WARNER]](https://cdn.shoplightspeed.com/shops/621399/files/33148976/1652x1652x2/new-vinyl-joy-division-closer-factory-warner.jpg)
Joy Division's haunting second and final album Closer from 1980, produced by Martin Hannett: "Isolation," "Heart and Soul," "Twenty Four Hours" and "Decades."
Closer is a post-punk masterpiece, starker, more atmospheric and more ambitious than Unknown Pleasures, and its influence still echoes through alternative music.
Recorded in London with Martin Hannett, Closer pushes Joy Division's sound into icy synths, spacious, echoing drums and Peter Hook's melodic bass, with Ian Curtis's commanding baritone at the centre.
"Atrocity Exhibition" lurches into the unknown, "Isolation" pulses on synth, "Heart and Soul" and "Twenty Four Hours" are gripping, and "Decades" closes with a slow, majestic grandeur.
A post-punk masterpiece, starker and more ambitious. Closer, as titled.
