The Cure’s long-awaited, critically acclaimed new album, ‘Songs Of A Lost World’, their first new release in 16 years, is out now. The band will be performing their only scheduled show of the year tonight at Troxy in London, which will be live-streamed on The Cure’s YouTube page. Tomorrow night, BBC2 will air a special evening of The Cure programming to celebrate the release of ‘Songs Of A Lost World.’
‘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 – the album was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales. Robert Smith created the sleeve concept, and Andy Vella, a long-time Cure collaborator, handled the album’s art and design. The cover art features ‘Bagatelle’, a 1975 sculpture by Janez Pirnat.
