An oldie but a goodie, New Order’s “Age of Consent” presents a classic, timeless sound that will make you fall in love with the song on your first listen. With its energetic dance-anthem spirit, it feels like the type of song that would have been played at an 80’s prom.
With the sudden death of band member Ian Curtis came the death of Joy Division… and the birth of New Order. While staying true to their original influences in Joy Division, the remaining members who formed New Order went on to impact an entire new genre of new wave, synth-pop music. New Order became immensely successful, with “Age of Consent” as one of their most popular and beloved songs to date.
