#ComingUp: BLEECH 9:3 Pull The Covers Off The Cure's "Lullaby"
Written By: Big C
Even the sweetest lullaby can hide something sinister beneath the sheets. BLEECH 9:3 revisits that unsettling contrast with their interpretation of The Cure's Lullaby. Originally associated with Robert Smith's eerie storytelling and the song's hypnotic rhythmic character, "Lullaby" provides an intriguing canvas for the Dublin-born, London-based quartet's darker musical instincts. The band brings its established affinity for heavy distortion, sharp melodies, and emotional prudence into conversation. For a group whose identity has been shaped by the contrast between melodic clarity and abrasive instrumentation, the selection feels particularly fitting. There's something about a song designed around nighttime unease ability to find another life with musicians who know how to make discomfort a cinematic experience.
While Tourniquet examined the band's original musical direction, "Lullaby" offers an opportunity to consider how their creative personality translates to someone else's composition. BLEECH 9:3 have been building toward this visibility through an increasingly demanding live schedule and a growing catalog of deeply personal material. With their forthcoming debut album, Bleed, on the horizon, covering The Cure offers another way for BLEECH 9:3 to introduce their musical influences while establishing a distinct identity of their own. Discover BLEECH 9:3 and hear how the band brings a familiar nightmare into its expanding musical world.
