    🇬🇧 The Cure "Three Imaginary Boys" – 1979

    A lean and restless debut balancing post-punk minimalism with flashes of offbeat pop sensibility. Even at this early stage, Robert Smith’s songwriting shows a fascination with mood and repetition, though the darker atmosphere of later releases is only beginning to emerge...

  6. Hi Mastodon,

    I’d like to reintroduce myself and introduce my album “A Cufflink-Wearing Guy”.

    I write songs and over the past 6 years roughly, I’ve collected 10 from about 100 to be recorded, mixed and mastered. As of today, those 10 songs are available to listen to at bandcamp as the album “A Cufflink-Wearing Guy” (alastairleonard.bandcamp.com/a)

    There are songs about fleeting marketplace romances (Sunflowers), and going in search of your life’s purpose (Desert Rose). There are other songs about taking the easy road and waking up late (Mid-Morning Guy) and the housing crisis in Australia (Yoshino Removals). There are even more songs — about bad haircuts (West Coast Haircut) and the disappearance of the bees (Honey Bee). The title track follows a pair of cufflinks given to me as a young man and their trajectory through the following decades. All the lyrics are up there so you can read along while listening if that’s your preference.

    The music is roughly what I’d call indie-pop including jangly guitars numbers and piano ballads but there are forays into country twang, latin percussion, and doof. Some of my influences include #jeffreylewis #bjork #davidberman #cassandrajenkins #dangelo #leonardcohen #hopesandovalandthewarminventions #lucindawilliams #jenslekman #jonathanrichman #ninasimone #arethafranklin #pixies #thecure #thefieldmice #thesundays #thelemonheads #themagneticfields #tmbg #thegobetweens #motown

    Attention is a commodity these days and I don’t expect too many people will hear the record; but if you do feel inclined to listen and can find a moment, I hope you find something joyful in these songs. Creating A Cufflink-Wearing Guy has been a labour of love. Mostly love, a little labour. Until next time, keep looking on the bright side. Thanks for reading. AL

  8. Released today 42 years ago:

    🇬🇧 The Cure "The Top" – 1984

    An eclectic and unpredictable album where Robert Smith pushes the band’s sound into more psychedelic and experimental territory...

    My favourite is "Give Me It".

  10. Released today 44 years ago:

    🇬🇧 The Cure "Pornography" – 1982

    A claustrophobic and uncompromising climax to the band’s early dark trilogy. Robert Smith’s vocals are intense and fractured reinforcing themes of despair, isolation, and emotional collapse. The production is deliberately heavy and suffocating, with repetition and distortion used to heighten tension...

  11. Released today 37 years ago:

    🇬🇧 The Cure "Disintegration" – 1989

    A vast, immersive statement built on atmosphere, repetition, and emotional intensity. Robert Smith’s vocal delivery moves between fragile introspection and desperate urgency, anchoring themes of love, loss, and existential drift...
