For Smith and The Cure, that never-ending hunt continues to outlast trends and defy odds. By any measure, the band remains one of rock’s most improbable success stories. After forming in the late-’70s, The Cure emerged as part of England’s vibrant post-punk scene. A string of acclaimed albums — all of which embraced an outsider aesthetic — soon followed.
The Cure’s go-to sonic components involved a rotating assembly of reverb-laden guitars, magnetic bass lines, purring synthesizers, shimmering chimes and edgy percussion often called upon to create drama on a grand scale. The Cure didn’t just play songs. Spurred by the chemistry between Smith, long-standing bassist Simon Gallup and guitarist Reeves Gabrels, the band created kaleidoscopic settings in which Smith’s characters largely sought to escape, take refuge or freeze time.
