The Cure frontman Robert Smith has teased plans for a new album.
The band recently returned with their first LP since 2008, the spectacular ‘Songs Of A Lost World’. Out now, CLASH thrilled at the release, with reviewer Sam Walker-Smart writing:
With ‘Songs Of A Lost World,’ The Cure has not only produced something worth the wait but added another classic to their already sterling catalogue. This is a late-career gem from one of the world’s most idiosyncratic acts.
Speaking to Absolute Radio’s Danielle Perry for a special version of Tim’s Listening Parties, Robert Smith confirmed that a “companion piece” is in the works.
A further album of new material, he told the host that it would have “a different approach” to ‘Songs Of A Lost World’, aiming for a “late-night studio” feel.

“There is another album which is pretty much ready to go. It’s sort of its companion piece,” he said. “There’s a third one which is completely different. It’s really kind of random stuff, like late-night studio stuff. But some of it is really good actually, it’s just very very different.”
“This ‘Songs Of A Lost World’ album is a really emotional piece of work and the companion piece, it’s not quite as dark but it explores other subjects a little bit more,” he continued.
“The third one is very odd, actually. I haven’t finished the words to that one because my headspace has been much more focused on performing these ones. I don’t really want it to end because it’s been so good. The reaction to the new music has been so, so great. It’s been really lovely to feel people giving us all the love.”
