What their label says...

The Cure’s new studio album, their thirteenth, is appropriately called 4:13 Dream. “There are songs about relationships, the material world, politics and religion. They’re very upfront and dynamic,” says Smith of the new songs. “People will be surprised how stripped-down and in-your-face the record is.”

Led as always by lead singer/guitarist Robert Smith, the Cure line-up compromises long-time members bass player Simon Gallup, drummer Jason Cooper and, back in the band for a third time, guitarist Porl Thompson.

The Cure played several new songs from this album during their recent world tour, which included a sold out show at Wembley Arena.

Produced by Robert Smith and Keith Uddin, the album was preceded by 4 singles, all released on the thirteenth of each month: “The Only One (Mix 13)”, "Freakshow (Mix 13)”, "Sleep When I'm Dead (Mix 13)" and “The Perfect Boy (Mix 13)".

This was followed by a remix EP "Hypnagogic States", a very special compilation consisting of remixes of these singles by Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance) and Julien-K, Pete Wentz & Patrick Stump (Fall Out Boy), Wolves at the Gate (Jade Puget from AFI), 30 Seconds To Mars and 65 Days Of Static (who supported The Cure on most of their recent 59 date World Tour) as follows:

1) “The Only One” remixed by 30 Seconds to Mars
2) “Freakshow” remixed by Wolves at the Gate (Jade E Puget – AFI)
3) “Sleep When I’m Dead” remixed by Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance and Julien-K
4) “The Perfect Boy” remixed by Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy
5) "Exploding Head Syndrome" (all 4 singles) remixed by 65 Days Of Static
