“Atmosphere” is a song by English post-punk band Joy Division. It was originally released in March 1980 by the Sordide Sentimental label as the “Licht und Blindheit” (German for “Light and Blindness”) package, a France-only limited edition single featuring the track “Dead Souls” as the B-side. Following Ian Curtis’s death in May, it was re-released as a 12" single by Factory Records in August with “She’s Lost Control” as the B-side. The single was re-released in 1988 to coincide with the release of the compilation album Substance, and a music video was produced for the song.
