Joy Division recorded only two albums before singer Ian Curtis tragically took his own life in 1980. But what the Manchester quartet lacked in longevity, they made up for in quality. The two albums pioneered a new sound and mood for alternative music.
Closer, the band's 1980 sophomore album released two months after the death of lead singer Ian Curtis, continued where the first album left off, with "Heart And Soul", "Isolation", and "Twenty Four Hours".
Lesser Man (Extended Version) is the first release of Boy Harsher`s imprint, Nude Club Records. Includes the dark wave hit, 'Pain' and the unreleased track 'Run' which was recorded during the Lesser Man session.
With a heavy emphasis on rhythm and atmosphere, the 10-songs presented here showcase a songwriting and production style that is sophisticated and unique, dark but powerfully uplifting.
