THE CURE’s Orchestrator ROBER SMITH Says The Band Have Almost Canned 3 New Albums

Goth Gods THE CURE have almost canned 3 longplayers according to their
orchestrator ROBERT SMITH, who told so to BBC Radio 6 yesterday (June 8).

Smith: “We did record three albums’ worth of songs, so the
second one is done, so that’s about to be delivered to Universal
.

“The third one is weird, actually. Now I’ve been doing this, people think,
‘Ah, it’s because he’s been working with Olivia, because the third one is
actually really upbeat.

It’s really poppy, but it doesn’t compare melodically to the stuff that Olivia does,
but it’s my idea of Cure Pop. It’s probably 20 BPM slower than anything she does,
but compared to what we’ve done in the last couple of years, it’s really rocking.
It’s banging.”

Original single sleeve.

For this considerable accomplishment, the band will have a 12″ EP out in
April, which includes the version that Robert Smith re-recorded in 1986 for
the ‘Standing On A Beach – The Singles’ compilation album, but which has
never been released digitally.

The EP will be available on 12” vinyl, 7” vinyl, CD and on digital formats, and it will also feature remasters of the single’s B-sides: ‘Plastic Passion’, ‘Pillbox Tales’, and ‘Do The Hansa’, as well as the extended 12” mix of ‘Boys Don’t Cry’. You can order a copy here.
