The Cure’ s comeback continues to surprise. Less than a year after the acclaimed Songs of a Lost World, the band led by Robert Smith has confirmed the release of a new album entitled Mixes of a Lost Worlda total reinterpretation of their last album, this time with the signature of 24 heavyweight artists in the electronic, alternative and experimental scene.
The release is scheduled for June 13, 2025 and LoffMusic brings it to you in advance.
🔊 The sound of The Cure in a different light
Among the collaborators are names that mark generations: Four Tet, Paul Oakenfold, Chino Moreno (Deftones), Mogwai, Orbital, Mura Masa, Shanti Celeste, Trentemøller and Daniel Avery, among others. Each has taken one of the eight songs from the original album and transformed it into something completely new: ethereal, cinematic, visceral or straight-up danceable.
Two of these pieces are now available for listening:
- “Alone” remixed by Four Tet, with minimalist textures and an almost hypnotic pulse.
- “I Can Never Say Goodbye” reinterpreted by Paul Oakenfold, in a version charged with drama and cinematic atmosphere.
🌍 A project with purpose
Beyond the musical aspect, this release has a fundamental social component. All royalties from the album will be donated to War Child UK, an organization that works with children affected by war. In the words of Robert Smith:
“After Christmas I got some unsolicited remixes of Songs of a Lost World and I loved them. I wanted to know what the whole album would sound like through other minds. The result has been an unexpected, magical sonic journey. Donating the proceeds makes it even more special.”
💿 Fan and collector’s editions
The album will be released in multiple formats, including:
- Double vinyl (2LP) and double CD (2CD) with the main remixes.
- Deluxe edition (3LP / 3CD) with additional versions, rarities and bonus artists.
- Limited edition cassette, only available at The Cure’s official store.
Each edition will come with exclusive artwork and production details that make it a must-have for collectors.
