SPIN Online: October 3, 1998

The Cure are back in St. Catherine's Court, the former medieval monastery turned makeshift recording studio in Bath, England (owned by Dr. Quinn herself, actress Jane Seymour). Band spokespersons tell us that Robert Smith and company are toiling away on the as-yet-untitled new disc amid ghosts, hauntings, and bats. The latter animals have made a home for themselves in the control room and reportedly disrupted the Cure's first few sessions; however, according to our sources, "the creatures mysteriously disappeared every time Robert Smith entered the studio." (Did anyone check his hair?) The Cure's latest is due in the Spring of next year.
