1989
Recorded partly in Ibiza, Technique perfectly balances New Order's rock and dance impulses. The rhythms are bright and kinetic, while the melodies retain the wistfulness that defined the band's best work. Songs like "Fine Time" and "Vanishing Point" sound liberated and adventurous. The album captures a moment when alternative music and club culture were beginning to overlap in exciting ways. Few records from 1989 feel so forward-looking.

Albums of My Youth
My desert island album. This was the album I used to lock myself in my room with, put on the headphones and listen in full, blocking out the horrible world of school and homework.

Summer 2024
When the former members of Joy Division were becoming New Order, they spent significant time taking in the new sounds coming out of New York City's club scene to transform their sound. It makes sense that, at the end of that decade, they would choose to evolve again by soaking in the Ibiza club scene to find their sound of the next decade. The result was a blend of fresh house beats and alternative rock that I repeatedly come back to. Recommended Track: Fine Time
