Robert Smith talks about solo album and new The Cure release

During an interview for a Greek channel, Robert Smith mentioned that the solo album he is currently working on, will be sounding kinda industrial. Also, the excellent fanpage Chain Of Flowers informs that The Cure will enter the studio to record a new album in October / November. To be produced by Robert Smith and Ross Robinson[WTF?!?!?!] (best known for his work with bands such as Korn, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Machine Head, Vanilla Ice, Soul Fly, Cold, Glassjaw, Amen, At The Drive-In and Vex Red), the band looks for a release for Spring 2003. The yet untitled album will be released on The Cure's own label and will be distributed by a US indie label. The band have 40 or so songs from which to choose from, and will likely pick about 10 for the album. More news as we get it.
