The Cure are to begin work on a new album early next year.

The group with enter the studio in January to start work on the follow-up to last year’s ‘The Cure’, according to a post from singer Robert Smith.

“We are still on course for a summer release, as it's all in the preparation," Smith wrote on the band’s website Cure.com

This album will be the first since keyboardist Roger O'Donnell and guitarist Perry Bamonte left The Cure earlier this year and will feature former guitarist Porl Thompson, who recently rejoined the band, Billboard reports.

Smith added that he has been working on a live DVD and “writing some film music".
