THE CURE announce “Songs of a Lost World”

Automatic translation. Improvements are constantly being worked on.

It took 16 years. And now it’s within reach: The Cure ‘s new album will be released on November 1, 2024 and will be entitled “Songs of a Lost World”. Mastermind Robert Smith comments on the accompanying single “Alone”: “It’s the track that opened the album; as soon as we recorded this piece of music, I knew it was the opening song and I felt the whole album come into focus. I had been searching for the right opening line for the right opening song for a while, working with the simple idea of ‘being alone’, always with this nagging feeling in the back of my mind 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 I knew the song – and the album – were real.”
