Sixteen years after their previous album, The Cure returned with Songs Of A Lost World, a grave and gorgeous reckoning with loss, age and time. This limited Canadian import is a half-speed mastered pressing.
Robert Smith wrote every song and co-produced with Paul Corkett, and the band recorded most of it at Rockfield Studios in Wales in 2019 before finishing it over the following years. It finally arrived in 2024, the first Cure album since 4:13 Dream and the first studio album to feature guitarist Reeves Gabrels, with Roger O'Donnell back on keyboards.
Alone opens with a long, slow-building instrumental passage before Smith even sings, setting a mood of vast, candlelit sorrow. And Nothing Is Forever swells into a lush, aching ballad, A Fragile Thing brings a darker pulse and one of the record's catchiest melodies, and Endsong stretches past ten minutes of churning guitars and storm-cloud keyboards before Smith's voice finally breaks through.
There are only eight songs, but each one is given room to unfold at its own unhurried pace, and the whole record flows like a single piece.
It sounds like a band that took its time and meant every second. Dense, detailed music like this suits the care of a half-speed master, and it rewards a quiet room and full attention.
