Joy Division ‘Closer’ : 45 Year Anniversary Album Playback

And here we are, 45 years later, still coming to terms with the architecture of one of the most starkly beautiful albums ever made.

This July, we dim the lights and lower the needle on Closer. Join us for an all-vinyl, full-playback listening session in reverence to Joy Division’s uncompromising swan song — played front to back, loud and uncut, exactly as it was intended.
