The Cure are celebrating 40 years of performing and recording in the music industry... and during a recent appearance on The John Maytham Show, frontman Robert Smith discussed the band's recent run of shows and confirmed that they have finished their highly anticipated follow-up to 2008’s 4:13_Dream (!!) 

“We’ve enjoyed [the shows] and we’ve just recorded a new album for the first time in 10 years ... I’m still doing this for the right reasons ... We cover different styles of music, but because it’s us doing it, it sounds like us.”

Hopefully - the new record will be accompanied by a tour with US dates ... until then - enjoy this video from their 2016 performance at Merriweather Post Pavilion
