It's been seven long years since The Cure has released a new album, fortunately fans of the English rock band may finally get to hear new songs from them as they are reportedly working on a follow up record.
According to the band's frontman Robert Smith they are readying to recod new songs to their new album, which will also include tracks from their unreleased album.
"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 in an interview with NME
Furthermore, 56-year-old musician quipped that the working title for their new album is called, "4:14 Scream" which he thinks is "a dreadful title. Andy who does our covers has done a really great album cover for it, a kind of pastiche of me doing a scream, so maybe we'll keep it. It's one of those reverse psychology things, where it's so bad it's good," Uncut reported.
In other news, Smith also shared his experience when their former label company decided not to release a double album, which was supposed to be included in their 2008 release "4:13 Dream."
"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."
And while it was not easy for him to work on a new album following the exit of former members, new guitarist Reeves Gabrels helped them a lot to get things together.
"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."
