Low-Life
New Order · Synth-pop/Post-Punk
Self-produced at Jam and Britannia Row Studios in London in 1984, Low-Life caught New Order mid-transformation from post-punk survivors into dance-rock pioneers, pairing the guitar-driven 'Love Vigilantes' with the sequencer-and-sampled-frog solo of 'The Perfect Kiss' and reaching No. 7 on the UK Albums Chart under another stark Peter Saville sleeve.
