The Cure – Songs Of A Lost World CD

Songs Of A Lost World is The Cure’s long-awaited return to the studio, and one of the most sombre and emotionally powerful albums of their career. More than a decade after their previous studio release, Robert Smith and the band deliver a record steeped in melancholy, mortality, isolation and reflection, with the music deliberately embracing the darker atmospheric side of The Cure. There is little attempt to chase contemporary trends here. Instead, Songs Of A Lost World feels almost timeless gloomy, majestic, deeply introspective and unmistakably The Cure. It is an album about confronting loss and the passage of time, but its emotional weight is matched by some of the band’s most evocative music in decades.
