Thank you space documentaries for showing me this
The album cover is the readings of a deep space pulsar and I think it fits really well

"The animated pulses featured at the start of the video are based on actual data from the first recorded pulsar. The data was collected by the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico in 1968 and later used by radio astronomer Harold Craft to create the plotted visualization seen in the video. Craft's image later gained notoriety when, in 1979, the English rock band Joy Division used it as cover art for their debut album, Unknown Pleasures."

"Radio, live transmission
Radio, live transmission
Listen to the silence, let it ring on
Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun"

Ian Curtis confirmed space nerd??
