Our favorite English band The Cure just announced that their 14th studio album «Songs of a Lost World» will be released November 1st, 2024 via Fiction/Polydor. Its their first album since 2008’s «4:13 Dream».

The Cure «Alone», their first new single in 16 years, released digitally September 26th.

«It’s the track that unlocked the record; as soon as we had that piece of music recorded I knew it was the opening song, and I felt the whole album come into focus. I had been struggling to find the right opening line for the right opening song for a while, working with the simple idea of ‘being alone’, always in the back of my mind this nagging feeling that I already knew what the opening line should be… as soon as we finished recording I remembered the poem ‘Dregs’ by the English poet Ernest Dowson… and that was the moment when I knew the song — and the album — were real.»

«Songs of a Lost World» was written and arranged by Robert Smith, produced and mixed by Robert Smith & Paul Corkett and performed by The Cure - Robert Smith (Voice / guitar /6 string bass / keyboard), Simon Gallup (Bass), Jason Cooper (Drums / percussion), Roger O'Donnell (Keyboard), Reeves Gabrels (Guitar). The album was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales.

Robert Smith created the sleeve concept, and Andy Vella, a long-time The Cure collaborator, handled the album's art and design. The cover art features «Bagatelle», a 1975 sculpture by Janez Pirnat.

The Cure «Songs of a Lost World» will be released as CD, Deluxe Edition CD + 2CD + Blu-ray, Limited Edition Cassette, Limited Edition Double Cassette, Standard Bio Vinyl, Exclusive White Bio Vinyl, Half Speed Master 2LP Bio Vinyl and digitally.
