It's like the band's collective sense of aesthetics and taste completely deserted them overnight somewhere in the mid 2000s.

I don't like Bloodflowers as an album but I'd say that period is the last time the band still kind of felt a bit like The Cure, even though many of the key members (Lol, Boris Porl) had long since moved on.

I like Bloodflowers, but I roundly agree with the rest of this.

Robert played Just Like Heaven with CHVRCHES at some NME awards event just now:



Can we get this guy to play drums for the Cure?

He's promised this so many times now, I'll be amazed if any of it actually happens:

The Cure’s long-awaited new album is titled Songs of a Lost World, frontman Robert Smith has revealed.

Speaking to NME ahead of last night’s NME Awards, Smith said the 10-song album is nearly finished, with the aim of releasing it as early as September. He described the music as “relentlessly doom and gloom.”

Smith said he has a three-week deadline to record the final four vocals, as mixing is scheduled to begin the first week of April. Along with the title, he’s also settled on the album’s artwork and tracklist.

...

Smith also confirmed he still intends to drop a solo album under his own name. He previously described it as an “hour-long noise record,” but grew “disenchanted” with it. After adding real instruments, including acoustics, Smith said the album is now “upbeat.” He added, “It’s a thing I’ve wanted to do for so many years. It’s my one shot of doing it.” As Smith is primarily focused on The Cure’s music at the moment, the solo record likely won’t be released until 2023.

"nearly finished" (things Robert has been saying for about eight years)

Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today, we revisit the Cure’s commercial peak in 1992, a pivotal, fantastic, and often overlooked album in the band’s catalog.

This is a good performance but I'm a little annoyed by how Reeves plays the main riff. He's using fewer pull-offs so it feels less fluid than how Perry or Pearl used to do it. I like the harmonics in the verses though

The Cure have officially replaced Tool as "that band that will never release a new album... until they do" to me.

Maybe it'll come out by 2030.

This is worth watching mostly for the several minutes at the start of Jason looking very uncomfortable while he waits for his cue



Posting it for Spenno who is a huge fan of this guy

You totally would have done that breathing thing better though, for sure.

Quote:
The second disc will feature 21 previously unreleased demos, comprised of four studio vocal demos from 1990 and 17 instrumental demos from 1991, nine of which are completely unrelaxed songs.

And the third disc includes the Lost Wishes EP, which never have been released on CD or digitally, plus the previously unreleased song “A Wendy Band” from the band’s Manor Studio sessions in 1992, a previously unheard mix of “From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea,” five 12-inch mixes and a previously unrelaxed live version of “End” recorded in Paris in October 1992.

Sounds like some really revved up inclusions.

One of my favourite eras of the band, I'm looking forward to this.
