| | The Cure are an English rock band formed in Crawley, | |
| | West Sussex, in 1978. The band members have changed | |
| | several times, with guitarist, lead vocalist, and | |
| | songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant | |
| | member. The band's debut album was Three Imaginary | |
| | Boys (1979) and this, along with several early | |
| | singles, placed the band in the post-punk and new | |
| | wave movements that had sprung up in the United | |
| | Kingdom. Beginning with their second album, | |
| | Seventeen Seconds (1980), the band adopted a new, | |
| | increasingly dark and tormented style, which, | |
| | together with Smith's stage look, had a strong | |
| | influence on the emerging genre of gothic rock as | |
| | well as the subculture that eventually formed around | |
| | the genre. | |
| | | |
| | Following the release of their fourth album | |
| | Pornography in 1982, the band's future was | |
| | uncertain. Smith was keen to move past the gloomy | |
| | reputation his band had acquired, introducing a | |
| | greater pop sensibility into the band's music. Songs | |
| | such as "Let's Go to Bed" (1982), "Close To Me" | |
| | (1985), "Just Like Heaven" (1987), "Lovesong" | |
| | (1989), and "Friday I'm in Love" (1992) aided the | |
| | band in receiving commercial popularity. The band | |
| | have released 13 studio albums, two EPs and over 30 | |
| | singles to date. | |
| | | |
| | The Cure were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall | |
| | of Fame in 2019. | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | Seventeen Seconds is the second studio album by | |
| | English rock band the Cure, released on 22 April | |
| | 1980 by Fiction Records. The album marked the first | |
| | time frontman Robert Smith co-produced with Mike | |
| | Hedges. After the departure of original bassist | |
| | Michael Dempsey, Simon Gallup became an official | |
| | member along with keyboardist Matthieu Hartley. The | |
| | single "A Forest" was the band's first entry in the | |
| | top 40 of the UK Singles Chart. | |
| | | |
| | At the end of the Cure's 1979 UK tour supporting | |
| | Siouxsie and the Banshees, Robert Smith spoke less | |
| | and less with bassist Michael Dempsey. Early | |
| | versions of "Play for Today" and "M" had been | |
| | performed at a few concerts, but Dempsey did not | |
| | like the new musical direction that Smith wanted to | |
| | take. Smith commented: "I think the final straw came | |
| | when I played Michael the demos for the next album | |
| | and he hated them. He wanted us to be XTC part 2 and | |
| | û if anything û I wanted us to be the Banshees part | |
| | 2. So he left". Playing guitar with the Banshees for | |
| | two months and learning their songs opened up | |
| | another horizon to Smith. "It allowed me to think | |
| | beyond what we were doing. I wanted to have a band | |
| | that does what Steven Severin and Budgie do, where | |
| | they just get a bassline and the drum part and | |
| | Siouxsie wails". The records to which Smith was | |
| | frequently listening during the composition of the | |
| | album were Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake, Isle of | |
| | Wight by Jimi Hendrix, Astral Weeks by Van Morrison | |
| | and Low by David Bowie. Smith wrote the lyrics and | |
| | music for most of the record at his parents' home, | |
| | on a Hammond organ with a built-in tape recorder. | |
| | Interviewed in 2004, producer Mike Hedges did not | |
| | recall any demo tracks, with the band generally | |
| | playing the track in the studio before laying down a | |
| | backing track to which overdubs were added. | |
| | | |
| | Two members of the Magazine Spies, bass guitarist | |
| | Simon Gallup and keyboardist Matthieu Hartley, were | |
| | added to the band's lineup. Gallup replaced Dempsey, | |
| | which relieved Smith as he felt Dempsey's basslines | |
| | were too ornate. Hartley's synth work added a new | |
| | dimension to the band's newly ethereal sound, | |
| | although he would later clash with Smith over | |
| | complexity; Hartley enjoyed complex chords but Smith | |
| | wanted single notes. | |
| | | |
| | Because of financial restraints, the album was | |
| | recorded and mixed in seven days on a budget of | |
| | between 2,000 and 3,000, which resulted in the band | |
| | working 16 or 17 hours a day. Smith stated that as a | |
| | result, the track "The Final Sound", which was | |
| | planned to be much longer, was cut down to 53 | |
| | seconds because the tape ran out while recording and | |
| | band could not record it again. The album, mostly a | |
| | collection of downbeat tracks, features ambient | |
| | echoing vocals with the sonic direction driven by | |
| | its drum sound. | |
