40 years ago today, New Order (neworder) released their seminal classic 'Power, Corruption and Lies.' avparnell looks back on the English post-punk icons' groundbreaking pivot to synth-pop after the disintegration of Joy Division. Read here:
In 1981, the German conceptual artist Gerhard Richter held an exhibition at the Kunsthalle in Cologne. Famous for a penchant technique called “the blur,” Richter’s work at the time explored music, culture and the trauma of totalitarianism. His subjects ranged from naturescapes to depictions of murdered relatives to a “photo-painting” of a candle that—in 1988—would become the cover of Sonic Youth’s.
“Age Of Consent” does this dance so perfectly that it’s risen to legendary status. In fact, it’s the perfect tone-setter, opening the album by hashing out the bitter end of a relationship over a gleeful beat. Peter Hook sets the stage with that famous bass riff, soon to be joined by Stephen Morris—with a drumline that echoes “Love Will Tear Us Apart”—and Gilbert and Sumner eagerly exploring the sonic grounds they establish. There’s a naivete in the angst and indecision of “Age of Consent.
In “Your Silent Face,” the album’s apotheosis, Gilbert’s climbing synths and electronics lead the way with a build inspired by the “sparkly sound” of Kraftwerk’s “Europe Endless.” Soon, melodic guitar hooks call out as if from miles away and Sumner takes to the microphone, his cryptic lyrics reflecting on unsaid thoughts and unwalked paths.
