Speaking with Zocalo, Smith revealed that he has “prepared” three new albums with The Cure, with the first one having a working title Live From the Moon.

“Actually I have prepared three albums, two of them more advanced. The first will be the one that we will release very soon. I think that the first single, or the whole album, will come out this Christmas, or a little earlier. It has the title of ‘Live From the Moon’ and it will surely change its name” – Smith revealed.

According to Smith, the second album will feature “freer pieces and with a more pronounced, stronger sound,” while the third one is described as “a noise disc, with different aspects and environments, all based on experiences on a stage.”

The Cure was quite active this year, embarking on a tour that saw them playing mostly festival dates across Europe, U.S., Asia, and Australia. This was part of the band’s celebration efforts for their 40th anniversary. The band also released a documentary this year, which chronicles their experience during the tour.

It has been 40 years since the band’s first album and it has been 30 years since their staple goth album Disintegration hit the store. Now, the goth icons are back in the studio making dark and gloomy anthems for an album which frontman Robert Smith promises will be “really f***ing great”.

“So for the first time in 20 years, we went into a studio — we actually went into the studio where they did “Bohemian Rhapsody,” funnily enough,” Smith told Rolling Stone. “It’s a great studio in the middle of nowhere. We just played music for three weeks. And it’s great. I know everyone says that. But it really is f***ing great.”

The goth legend continued: “It’s so dark. It’s incredibly intense. And I’ve waited 10 years to do something that means something. It’s going to work really well. I’m not sure how much of it we’ll play this summer at festivals. It’s not really festival music. The songs are like 10 minutes, 12 minutes long.

“We recorded 19 songs. So I have no idea what to do now. The others are saying, “Triple album!” I’m saying, no let’s not. I’ll pick six or maybe eight songs and do like a single album. But I think it will delight our hardcore fans. And probably really, really infuriate everyone else.”

He added: “At my age, I’m still doom and gloom.”

More details on the upcoming album are yet to be announced.
