Following its "4:13 Dream" album released in 2008, fans are hoping for a new The Cure record this year.
While the English rock band has yet to set a release date for their new album, vocalist Robert Smith told NME that they are already working on new tracks that would be included in the follow up LP.
"There's new stuff that we're doing with this line-up and stuff we finished with the old line up," Smith said of the new album.
While new songs are on the way, Smith said that the new album will also include tracks from its unreleased 2008 record, which was held off by their label.
"Honestly? Just pure bloody mindedness," he said of the situation. "I was so f*cking angry that [the label] wouldn't release a double album that I wouldn't give them the other songs."
While The Cure lost original members of the group, guitarist Reeves Gabrels, who became part of the band since 2012, is reportedly going to provide new twist to the old tracks.
"A lot of stuff happened, unfortunately, with the last line-up of the band," Smith explained. "People forget sometimes that even when you get older, when you play music with people, there's a very intense relationship there and when that breaks down then it's very difficult to just pretend it doesn't matter."
"The last line-up, there were a number of reasons why I felt unable to complete what we were doing. It was impossible to just get another line-up and bang out the songs we didn't release; it would have been wrong."
