During the past week, the Cure sent out mysterious postcards to fans that seem to indicate that their long-awaited new album, Songs of a Lost World, will finally get released on November 1st, 2024. The release date perfectly suits the band’s goth aesthetic, coinciding with both All Saints’ Day and Day of the Dead. The record would mark the first new full-length release from the Cure in 16 years, dating back to their 2008 release, 4:13 Dream. In addition to the postcard teasers, the Cure also put up a stark black poster promoting the album outside The Railway bar in Crawley, West Sussex, the same venue where Robert Smith‘s band played their very first show back in 1978. Shortly before the postcards were sent out and the poster was spotted, the Cure also wiped their entire website clean, leaving only the band’s name in a stylish new script and an email sign-up link.
