Cure frontman Robert Smith has mastered the ability to stop the flow of time. The band's new album isn't due out until September 13, but the proof of Smith's wizardry is here in the video for the single "The Only One." Look around the studio as the band gets its goth-pop on--Porl Thompson: shaved head and creepy, carnival-geek-looking cranium tattoo. Simon Gallup, Jason Cooper: your average, everyday middle-aged '80s-rock dudes. Mr. Smith: a few pounds heavier perhaps, but otherwise exactly the freakin' same as he's looked for the last 25 years. Still rocking that Edward Scissorhands mix of palm-fronds-cum-bird's-nest hairdo, pasty complexion, and slightly androgynous aura amid his loose black draperies whilst managing a miraculous absence of anachrony. Now that's consistency. Fortunately, much the same can be said of the song, which revisits Cure glory days without a whiff of retro desperation, and augurs well for the upcoming album.
