Cold, spare and quietly hypnotic, The Cure's Seventeen Seconds is where Robert Smith first found the misty sound that would define the band, presented here as a UK import CD.
Released in 1980, only a year after the jittery post-punk of their debut, the album marked a sharp change of direction. A shifting lineup and a new focus on atmosphere pushed the band toward space, repetition and mood. Smith co-produced the album with Mike Hedges, and together they carved out a sound built on echo, restraint and long, grey shadows.
A Forest is the centrepiece and one of the band's signature songs, a chiming, relentless pursuit through the trees that seems to have no exit. Play for Today moves with nervous energy and a melody that sneaks under the skin. M is taut and wiry, while At Night drifts in like fog, sparse and unsettling, showing how much the band could say with very little.
The album began a trilogy of increasingly dark releases and became a touchstone for countless gothic, shoegaze and indie bands. Played start to finish, it remains one of the most perfectly sustained moods in British rock, best heard late at night with the lights down low.
