Seventeen Seconds

by The Cure

Seventeen Seconds cover art

Marking a distinct pivot from the spiky pop-punk of their debut, The Cure embraced a remarkably cold, minimalist aesthetic on 'Seventeen Seconds'. Driven by Simon Gallup's hypnotic basslines and Robert Smith's heavily flanged, icy guitar work, the album constructs a profoundly sombre, deeply atmospheric, and wonderfully nocturnal foundation for gothic rock.
