About the Album

The second part of The Cure's celebrated 'dark trilogy' — a bleak, gothic meditation on spiritual emptiness and disillusionment. Steeped in mournful atmosphere, Faith deepened the sonic palette of Seventeen Seconds and earned the band a devoted cult following.

Built around slow tempos, repetition, and stark textures, Faith deepened the mood first explored on Seventeen Seconds. Its writing and sequencing emphasized grief, emptiness, and spiritual uncertainty.
