Show Of A Lost World
The album, their 14th studio release, is their first in 16 years, and songs from the record, including the first two tracks to be revealed, Alone and A Fragile Thing, were previewed during The Cure’s 90-date, 33-country Shows Of A Lost World tour, for more than 1.3 million people to overwhelming fan and critical acclaim.
Songs Of A Lost World was written and arranged by Robert Smith, produced and mixed by Robert Smith & Paul Corkett. The Cure, featuring Robert Smith (voice / guitar / 6-string bass / keyboard), Simon Gallup (bass), Jason Cooper (drums / percussion), Roger O’Donnell (keyboard), and Reeves Gabrels (guitar), recorded the album 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.
Songs Of A Lost World will be released as a 1LP, a Miles Showell Abbey Road half-speed master 2LP, and marble-coloured 1LP. It will also be available as a double Cassette, CD, a deluxe CD package with a Blu-Ray featuring an instrumental version of the record and a Dolby Atmos mix of the album.
