#thismorningssoundtrack is Ian Curtis, born on July 15, 1956. He was known for his baritone voice and songwriting style, typically filled with imagery of isolation, emptiness and alienation. He was the lead singer and lyricist for Joy Division, and recorded two albums with them (Unknown Pleasures & Closer) before taking his own life at the age of 23 on the eve of their debut North American tour. His death resulted in the dissolution of the band and the subsequent formation of New Order. #iancurtis #joydivision #postpunk #goth #gothmusic #gothrock
