Free Music Review: Sleep When I'm Dead
Hit: 5 Stars
Third in a series of four singles heralding the release of The Cure's yet-untitled 13th album, Sleep When I'm Dead is another strong showing from a band who have proven their consistency over the course of nearly 30 years. When I first heard a 30 second clip of the song on the band's website, I was slightly horrified, as the song seemed to incessantly repeat the refrain "I'll sleep when I'm dead you angels, I'll sleep when I'm dead I said." The good news is that there's a lot more to the full song than that petite clip, and in the presence of the swirling wah pedal guitar and the driving rhythm, the lyrics take on a darker, more immediate appeal.
Sleep When I'm Dead is the third different sound we've heard from the band as part of this singles blitzkrieg. The Only One was a lovely little slice of pop, Freakshow a quick burst of blistering funk, and the latest reaches a gothic sound that the band hasn't achieved since the early 90's. Not only is the single itself excellent, but this disc is also sporting the best of the three b-sides to be released so far. Down Under is a gorgeous ditty with the fuzzy warmth of earlier pop recordings by the band. Robert's vocals echo around a bright piano and guitar combo, the lyrics yet again lending themselves a very sexual interpretation. This is a great b-side on a great single, and a must-have for Cure collectors.
Sleep When I'm Dead (Mix 13) Poster
The Cure, one of the most revered British bands of the past quarter-century, have unveiled their plans to release four singles, one each month starting May 13th, leading up to the release of their thirteenth studio album, as yet untitled, which will be out on Suretone/Geffen Records September 13, 2008. It will be the band's first album of new music since 2004's self titled album The Cure. Physical and digital singles will be available. Why the 13th of each month? The forthcoming album is The Cure's thirteenth studio album... A lucky number indeed!Led as always by lead singer/guitarist Robert Smith, the Cure line-up comprises longtime members bass player Simon Gallup, drummer Jason Cooper and, back in the band for a third time, guitarist Porl Thompson.
The Cure first formed in southern England in 1976 as Easy Cure. In 1978 the 'Easy' was dropped, and The Cure was signed to the Fiction label. In May 1979 their debut album Three Imaginary Boys was released to great acclaim.
Other landmark Cure albums include Pornography (1982), The Head on the Door (1985), Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me (1987), Disintegration (1989), Wish (1992), Wild Mood Swings (1996), the Grammy-nominated Bloodflowers (2000) and their last full length release, the self-titled set The Cure (2004). 2006 saw the Suretone/Geffen release of Festival 2005, an award winning 5.1 DVD featuring 30 songs, shot by fans, band members and professionals during the summer of 2005's European festival run.
