Closer

Joy Division

Martin Hannett uses synthesizers and icy textures to build a cavernous sound. These recordings serve as a final transmission from a group operating at the edge of reality.

Operating out of Manchester, the band captures an intense mood through these tracks. The result is an honest record that turns private struggles into something vast and atmospheric.
