After seven years of being on hiatus, fans will finally get to hear a new album from The Cure.
While the follow up record is still on progress, the British rock band is reportedly working really hard for their upcoming album.
The Cure frontman Robert Smith revealed that the band is already agressively working on new songs for the recording of their new album, which will be including 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.
And while their upcoming album has yet to be finished, Smith quipped that it will be titled "4:14 Scream" in lieu with their previously unrelease album, 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.
And while everything is going well with the band, Smith recalled the band's experience with their former label and the problems they have to surpass following the unreleased double album.
"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 as the band move on, he said that working on a new album is not easy following the exit of former members, however with new guitarist Reeves Gabrels on board, everything seemed to have worked out just fine.
"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."
