The Cure’s new album, ‘4:13 Dream’, is set for release on October 27. It was due to be a double album, as the band had 33 songs to choose from. This idea was scrapped earlier this year and frontman Robert Smith confirmed that this album will contain the more up-beat songs. Meanwhile, a ‘dark companion’ album, featuring the other more gloomy songs, will hopefully be released in time for his birthday, April 21 2009.
