With just 13 albums under their belts after first arriving in the late '70s, a new offering from The Cure will certainly be welcomed by long-time fans itching for a new release since 2008's 4:13 Dream.
Earlier this week, their hopes were answered in the form of black matte postcards delivered to fan club members seemingly confirming their new album title, Songs Of A Lost World, and a release date of November 1.
Additionally, Robert Smith & Co. wiped clean their website and social profile photos to show a dark, smoky background with a simple “the CURE” logo in the center. The band is currently asking fans to sign up for their mailing list and SMS system for updates.
News of a new album from The Cure has been around for some time, but actual details have eluded fans until now. Frontman Robert Smith told NME back in 2022, “I’ve been working on two Cure albums, and one of them is finished,” anticipating a release date for the completed one, Songs Of A Lost World, in September of that year, while calling it “the doomiest thing that we’ve ever done.”
