When The Cure released their Greatest Hits album back in 2001, they recorded new acoustic versions of 18 songs for a bonus CD. It includes unplugged versions of “Boys Don’t Cry,” “The Love Cats,” “Lullaby,” “Friday I’m in Love,” “A Forest,” “In Between Days,” and more. Acoustic Hits has never been available on streaming services, but will be starting on August 9.
In celebration, The Cure are releasing acoustic videos, originally bonus content on the Greatest Hits DVD, to their YouTube Channel. Today they shared the videos for “A Forest” and “The Love Cats,” and you can watch those below.
The Cure spent much of 2022 and 2023 on a world tour, including three nights at Madison Square Garden. They currently have no upcoming shows — someone get them in the Sphere! — and are hopefully putting the finishing touches on that long-anticipated new album.
