The Cure are celebrating frontman Robert Smith's birthday with the announcement of Mixes of a Lost World — a remix album based on their 2024 release, Songs of a Lost World.
The double LP edition includes remixes by Four Tet, Orbital, Paul Oakenfold, Mura Masa, and others. The expanded 3-disc CD and triple vinyl add eight more, with contributions from Mogwai, Deftones’ Chino Moreno, Trentemøller, and more. Both are scheduled for release on June 13.
You can pre-order them here.
Speaking on how the remix album came together, Smith explained:
Just after Christmas, I was sent a couple of unsolicited remixes of Songs Of A Lost World tracks and I really loved them. 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. Giving our recording royalties from the project to War Child helps make Mixes Of A Lost World an even more special release.
Four Tet’s remix of “Alone,” originally released on vinyl for Record Store Day, is now available to stream — alongside Paul Oakenfold’s take on “I Can Never Say Goodbye.” Listen to both, and check out the cover art and full tracklist below.
