New Order are an English rock band formed in 1980 by vocalist and guitarist Bernard Sumner, bassist Peter Hook, and drummer Stephen Morris. The band formed after the demise of Joy Division, following the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis; they were joined by Gillian Gilbert on keyboards later that year. New Order's integration of post-punk with electronic and dance music made them one of the most acclaimed and influential bands of the 1980s.

"Low-Life" was the deliberate statement that made sure every listener was aware that there would never be a re-incarnation of the Joy Division shadowy post punk past. As if to further relieve New Order of the ghostly presence of Ian Curtis on their previous records, Peter Saville's radical album art is the first to show each member of the band, as if to offer a new visual identification to justify the seismic musical changes that were taking place. Their ambition to execute the transformation would earn critical respect, and the shackles of their past would be replaced by an invigorated dance rock sound that would eventually lead them to the sun drenched beaches of Ibiza for 1989's "Technique". The new sound was more confident, less understated, and steered towards a greater pop sensibility that had first been evident on "Blue Monday" two years previously. "Power, Corruption And Lies" from that same year had seen the first steps to a true identity, but with exception to the haunting instrumental "Elegia" (assumed to be a final tribute to Curtis), "Low-Life" sees ambition and a clear vision, ushered in by the whip cracking snares and melodica rush that introduce "Love Vigilantes". It's obvious that the band learned a great deal from their work with New York producer Arthur Baker, and the upfront, harder rhythms owe much to his influence.
