Even I hardly ever listen to the original. I mean, the below is the final song on the final (second) Joy Division album released - posthumously at that - after Ian killed himself at the age of 24. Just chilling. The music, the lyrics... in comparison to their best work, “Dead Souls” has always fallen flat to my ears. I guess what I’m saying is it isn’t representative of the real genius and beauty that is/was Joy Division.



TR releasing an EP of Joy Division covers, especially the likes of “The Eternal” and “Decades”? Yes please! Hell, his most famous song “Closer” has the same name as the final JD record, and “Still” has the same name as their third (compilation/live) album. I’m getting myself too excited.
