Cure - Sleep, When I'm Dead


Label: Geffen
Format: CDS
Fine third single from the Cure’s forthcoming new album



Review

‘Sleep, When I’m Dead’ is the third single from the Cure’s forthcoming new album, which is due out in September. It has a weird ‘The Top’-like essence to it, and an almost prayer style vocal from Robert Smith. The guitar is quite soft, but is wah wah flavoured, giving it that mid 80’s Cure feel, which is a good thing. ‘Down Under’, its B side, is more laid back and reflective in tone, but also has that classic Cure sound.

1 Sleep When I'm Dead (Mix 13)

Excellent first album in four years from the Cure, but which has to grow on its listener before being fully appreciated
