Episode Synopsis

For this week's Record Club, we have a special double-feature episode on both studio albums proper of the short-lived but unfathomably influential Joy Division, the band that set the standard for the 'post-punk' sound and scene, but themselves pulled from and reacted against so much of what was happening in the world of music in the late 70s. Today we discuss the band's unique and captivating sound, and the albums that represent it best, 1979's Unknown Pleasures and 1980's Closer.
