HUMAN SWITCHBOARD - Who's Landing In My Hangar LP hardcore ) an essential Joy Division

) an essential Joy Division release because it is the strongest and most sentimentally immediate expression of what Joy Division is: rough

The small towns of California’s northern Central Valley have an eerie loneliness to them

rather than to hide the artist’s weaknesses

building up near-absurd levels of tension at moments where there might otherwise be none: Prescott and his remote mother (Bérénice Bejo) walking woodenly to Mass

Everyone was a real kid (for the afternoon at least) as boots got traded in for bowling shoes and rock & rollers hit the pins to the tune of piped-in recordings of the Kids’ favorite records

HUMAN SWITCHBOARD - Who's Landing In My Hangar LP hardcore ) an essential Joy DivisionLimited colour vinyl. Highly recommended. The first and only album from 1970s Cleveland punk first wavers HUMAN SWITCHBOARD. Originally released on Faulty Products, the album features two tracks recorded for an EP on Rough Trade along with eight newer tunes.
