Overview

The Cure “Stills” follows the changing faces of one of the leading British rock bands during the post-punk and new-wave movements of the late '70s and '80s. As the band has continued over a period of nearly 50 years, front man and only constant member Robert Smith has maintained the band's popularity throughout the changing musical eras, while staying true to their individualistic style and quirkiness. Instrumental in the creation of the varying incarnations of The Cure is photographer Paul Cox, who first encountered the group on Top of the Pops in 1980. Having established a creative, productive and trusting relationship with the band, Cox's resulting work is The Cure in all their glory. Including over 200 colour and 75 black-and-white images, with accompanying captions selected and written by Cox and Smith, this book is a celebration of a seminal band through the lens of a skilled photographer.

""What sets Stills apart from your standard rock photo book is the captions, written by Robert Smith himself."" - WhyNow ""Cox was captivated and made it his mission to arrange a photo shoot. He succeeded – in fact, he became a confidant of Smith’s and managed to get the band in front of his lens often enough to fill a coffee table book with hundreds of photos."" - Lust of Life Magazine Included in Rough Trade's Books of the Year. - Rough Trade
