Ep. 51 - Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
from The Album Club Hosted by The Album Club
We are back! On our first episode in over a year we discuss Joy Division's stark masterpiece, Unknown Pleasures. We talk about its influence on what we now call post punk and gothic rock, the themes of detachment, control and pain communicated through Ian Curtis's tortured lyrics. We also take some time to cover Joy Division's imprisoned ex-drummers, Hooky and Barney's beef and the morphing of JD into electronic rock pioneers, New Order. It's good to be back!
