Faith is The Cure at their most hushed and haunted, the band's third album, presented here as a UK-issued CD.
Released in 1981, it followed Seventeen Seconds and pushed even further into shadowy, minimalist territory. Robert Smith was grappling with grief, doubt and questions of belief, and the band's sound became sparser and more austere, built on rolling bass, cold drums and guitar lines that seem to drift through empty rooms.
Primary is the exception, a driving, urgent single powered by two bass guitars and a restless rhythm. Elsewhere, The Holy Hour sets the tone with a slow, funereal tread, All Cats Are Grey floats on a ghostly keyboard melody, and The Drowning Man draws its imagery from the Gormenghast novels.
It is not an easy listen in the conventional sense, but its atmosphere is total, and many fans count it among the band's most affecting records, the bridge between their post-punk beginnings and the darker intensity that followed with Pornography. Lol Tolhurst's drums and Simon Gallup's bass carry much of the weight.
Put it on late at night, turn the lights down and let it fill the room. Few albums of the era sound quite so lonely, or so beautiful in their sadness.
