Joy Division teamed up with Martin Hannett again for the recording of their follow-up to the highly acclaimed debut album. These sessions arguably produced the best work of both band and producer.

Closer is the second and final studio album by English rock band Joy Division, released on 18 July 1980 by Factory Records.

The second and final album by Joy Division, released July 18, 1980 on Factory, two months following the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis. The album was recorded from 18 to 30 March 1980 at Britannia Row Studios, Islington, London. The cover photo is a detail of the Appiani family tomb in the Staglieno Cemetery in Genova, Italy. The sculpture was made by Demetrio Paernio.

Joy Division, like many of their Manchester peers, were inspired by the DIY anti-ethos of the Sex Pistols; they just didn't know what to do with it at first. So, shaped and prodded by notorious provocateur Hannett (who would turn the heat in the studio down low enough for everyone to see their breath), the group embraced space, ambience, and an imposing austerity. It's noteworthy how many songs on Unknown Pleasures fade in like something emerging from the shadows. The hypnotically abrasive "Atrocity Exhibition" leads to the relentless yet somehow still economical "Isolation", the group more capable in its playing and confident in the arrangements. The dirge "Passover" implies that the band is every bit aware of its morbid power, while "Colony" marks a return to the heavy riffage of Unknown Pleasures.

The English rock band Joy Division released their debut studio album "Unknown Pleasures" 40 years ago. The front cover doesn't feature any words, only a now iconic black and white data graph showing 80 wiggly lines representing. Peter Saville-graphic designer and co-founder of Factory Records-designed the album cover based on a picture spotted by band member Bernard Sumner in an encyclopaedia. The picture itself can be traced to the work of the postgraduate student Harold Craft, who published the image in his P. Unknown treasures in space. What we see in this enigmatic image is the signal produced by a pulsar known as B1919+21, the first pulsar ever discovered. A pulsar is formed during the violent death of a star several times more massive than our sun.
