Cuckoo was the second studio album released by the British band Curve in 1993. A musically more varied but significantly darker release than Curve's debut, Doppelgänger, Cuckoo performed poorly in the UK charts compared to the band's first LP.
In 1993 Curve released Cuckoo. Two singles from the album were released, "Missing Link" and "Superblaster". Both featured videos to accompany the singles. The album's relative commercial failure is likely to have been one of the main reasons for the band's decision to (temporarily) disband in 1994.
In the August 1996 issue of Select magazine, Toni Halliday said: "I still think our second album was our best. It got to the point where Dean [Garcia] didn't want to tour. We did reach that point of hedonistic head-fuckery, glugging JD, hollering 'Where's the schnozz?' You finally get that out of your system and think, 'This is sad.' We couldn't have gone on like that".
