The Cure is rolling with it, and going Long Tail for good measure. In May, the band began digitally releasing two singles — an A-side and B-side, respectively — every 13th of the month from its as-yet-untitled forthcoming full-length, which means you can expect another one to drop on Sunday. (The last two were “The Only One” and “Freakshow.”)
The new effort was reportedly meant to be a double album, but Smith pulled the plug on that, even though 33 songs were written and two of them, “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead” and “A Boy I Never Knew,” have been around for years. Songs that don’t make the new disc will probably be collated for a later one, even though The Cure has allegedly been playing more of them live in advance of the album than ever before in band history.
