Does anybody know of any songs/bands that have the reealllyyyy minimal post-punk sound like I Remember Nothing (Joy Division)?

***EDIT***
Alien Sex Fiend has similar stuff but nothing can pull off that sound like Ian's voice could.
The Boys Next Door and Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds did a few minimal things but not really "similar" if that makes sense.
Gary Numan's and David Bowie's stuff from the past ten years experiment with that too they both have dark and minimalistic stuff (specifically Bowie's "I'm Deranged").
Alot of NIN remixes take after that sound too like 90% of the stuff on Further Down The Down The Spiral.
The Cure's early stuff like Other Voices was sort of minimal too.
The minimalist post-punk sound has been getting big in the indie scene. The Arcade Fire do a good bit of stuff like "My Body Is A Cage" which is very minimal. Other indie groups that do minimal stuff I'd say are like TV On The Radio and Interpol and like Fugazi...but they are aren't really similar to that song at all.
