Closer is the second and final album by post-punk band Joy Division, released in 1980, two months following the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis. The record was originally released on the Factory Records label as a 12" LP and reached #6 on the UK Albums Chart. It claimed the number one slot on NME Album of the Year.
The album cover was designed by Martyn Atkins and Peter Saville, with photography from Bernard Pierre Wolff. The photograph on the cover is of the Appiani family tomb in the Cimitero Monumentale di Staglieno in Genoa, Italy, by Demetrio Paernio.
