British legendary rock band The Cure are set for the release of a new album titled ‘Mixes Of A Lost World’.
The Cure marked frontman Robert Smith‘s birthday by announcing details of ‘Mixes Of A Lost World’ – a follow-up remix album of their 2024 project ‘Songs Of A Lost World’, which featured collaborations from likes of Four Tet, Mogwai, and Deftones‘ Chino Moreno.
The alt-rock icons treated fans and listeners with their ‘Songs Of A Lost World’ album last year, their first full LP in 16 years.
Smith had earlier in 2020 told NME that the band were hard at work on “two new albums and an hour of noise”.
According to the frontman of the band, a “companion piece” album is “ready to go” (and will hopefully be complete and released before a yet-to-be-announced 2025 world tour), with the band also still at work on another record of “completely random stuff“.
With anticipation high for the new records and details of the tour, The Cure have this week been teasing fans with an announcement – but have now used Smith’s 66th birthday to share details of ‘Mixes Of A Lost World’, featuring 24 reworked tracks from their last album, to be released on June 13 to benefit the charity War Child.
“Just after Christmas, I was sent a couple of unsolicited remixes of ‘Songs Of A Lost World tracks and I really loved them,” said Smith. “The Cure has a colourful history with all kinds of dance music, and I was curious as to how the whole album would sound entirely reinterpreted by others.
“This curiosity resulted in a fabulous trip through all eight songs by 24 wonderful artists and remixers and is way beyond anything I could have hoped for.”
He continued: “Giving our recording royalties from the project to War Child helps make ‘Mixes Of A Lost World’ an even more special release.”
The release has already been previewed by Four Tet’s remix of the single ‘Alone’, recently released on vinyl for Record Store Day to benefit Médecins Sans Frontières. Now, the full tracklisting across multiple formats has been released – including Paul Oakenfold, Mura Masa, frequent touring friends Mogwai, past collaborators 65DaysOfStatic, and Deftones’ Chino Moreno (returning the favour after he put his own spin on ‘Teenager’ for the ‘White Pony’ remix album ‘Black Stallion‘ and leant vocals to ††† (Crosses)’ ‘Girls Float + Boys Cry‘).
Check out Oakenfold’s remix of ‘I Can Never Say Goodbye’ and Four Tet’s ‘Alone’ below.
‘Mixes Of A Lost World’ will be available as triple LP/cd/cassette deluxe editions featuring both the ‘Artists’ & ‘Remixers’ tracks. The three LP set includes three half speed mastered 180g heavyweight black bio vinyl LPs, a tri-gatefold printed sleeve, and a large foldout poster; the triple deluxe CD has an eight-panel digi-sleeve and includes a foldout poster; the limited edition three cassette set has individually printed o-cards and obi-strip and is exclusive to The Cure store.
The double LP/CD/cassette edition features the ‘Remixers’ tracks only and comes as a black vinyl double LP with a gatefold sleeve; a double CD in six-panel digisleeve includes foldout CD poster; the limited edition double cassette has individually printed o-cards and obi-strip is also exclusive to The Cure store.
