June 16 will feature a special edition of Fear of Music in which the 30th anniversary of Joy Division's seminal 1979 album Unknown Pleasures will be commemorated.
This debut album for the Manchester quartet utilized a distinct angular and atmospheric sound that many claim to have catalysed the genre known as 'Goth-rock' and crystallized the sound of post-punk music for years to come. This program will examine the history of the album's origin, highlight its influence on a number of musicians, and explore its contemporary legacy in music, film, and other media. Tune in this Tuesday from 1-2:30pm to celebrate the release of this important work, and to listen to the classic album in its entirety.
