I'm half tempted to phone them up tomorrow and ask them if The Cure lose sales due to the action of the IFPI limiting free advance publicity will they pay The Cure damages?

Because GRAPHIC DESIGN IS MY PASSION I whipped up this little placeholder graphic that should do the trick until The Cure's legal team come to their senses, and should be protected under fair use doctrine being for the purposes of at least one of "research, private study, education, satire, parody, criticism, review, or news reporting."

Mount Rushmore is suing for its image back.

 

[timothyemerson]

I don't care if lawyers sue.
Artwork's grey, I've seen it too.
Infringement: I don't care about you.
Pre-ordered: Out next month.

 

[Steve Bruzonsky]

Maybe the lawyers are being ultra careful because they don't want a certain political candidate in the U.S. to use any of their songs, photos, etc and do not want to show a pattern of waiving any such rights. I say that as a retired attorney (but I never practiced this field of law).

Excellent news!!

I've only been waiting a billion years for a new Cure release, and Robert has been talking about it for at least 5 of those years. Yes please.

Alone:

Sounds like a typical first song on a Cure album to me. I'm happy to hear such unhappiness in song form again (but Robert, maybe trim about a minute off that intro, eh?).

 

[beerking]

So, a day after all that bollix yesterday, about thou shall not...

Universal Music release this today.

I saw them in Chicago last year open their set at Riot Fest with this. Robert stood there scrutinizing the audience for what felt like a really long time before ever singing his first note of the evening.

In the live video on page 1, he does the same thing. It's kind of uncomfortable, honestly

Atmos mix for the single is up on streaming, haven't had a chance to hear, but on Tidal it is credited to Oli Morgan. He is best known (to me) for his remix work with Giles Martin on the Atmos mixes of Abbey Road, Red Rose Speedway, and Band on the Run. He's done some other work on modern releases from Victor Ray, FKJ, and Sam Smith as well. All those mixes are kind of hit-or-miss in my opinion, so I have no idea what to expect. Hope this one is more of a hit.

Listening now
At first, I thought the rears and the rear heights were 'Alone'
But they are used further into the track
A slightly conservative mix...
But
It is The Cure in surround!!

In fairness, this song is pretty sparse and doesn't have a lot going on. A primary key track with a few secondary key flourishes, one guitar, drums, bass, and vocals. Robert's vocals are often delayed and reverbed like crazy, so there's room for those in other channels.

I'd expect other songs to have more, but 5.1 is probably sufficient for most Cure songs. They are very good at creating huge textures/sounds with the bare bones basics.

 

[fetchmybeer]

I will add that the song to me sounded much better in stereo on Amazon music than it did through that YT video.

I think he did that at all the shows last year. In Dallas, he went to the far left and right sides of the stage and stayed there for a bit. I was under the impression he was doing it so people who were farther away could get pictures of him. At least, that's what everyone around me was doing.
