Songs of a Lost World is the upcoming fourteenth studio album by English alternative rock band the Cure, scheduled for release 1 November 2024 via Polydor and Fiction Records in the UK, and Capitol Records in the US.[1]
Background
[edit]Their first studio album since 4:13 Dream, released in 2008, Songs of a Lost World was several years in the making; it was originally intended for release in 2019,[1] and it is the band's first full-length album to feature Reeves Gabrels on guitars since he joined as a full time member in 2012. Prior to its release, the band promoted the album in 2022 and 2023 with a 90-date, 33-country live tour, Shows of a Lost World.[2] Perry Bamonte rejoined the band for the tour, but he didn't participate in the album's recording. The album's release was officially announced on 26 September 2024, with the release of the lead single, "Alone",[3] and a dedicated website.[2] The album cover was designed by Andy Vella and features Bagatelle, a 1975 sculpture by Slovenian artist Janez Pirnat.[3]
The track listing is expected to be gradually revealed over the weeks leading up to the release of the album; the first single "Alone" is said to be the opening track.[2]
