The Cure
The Cure has confirmed work on a new studio album. An update to the band’s official website states that they returned to Rockfield Studios in March 2025 and recorded 13 songs for the follow-up to 2024’s “Songs of a Lost World.”
The confirmation appeared quietly in the “Bio” section of the band’s website: “In March 2025 the band went back into Rockfield Studios to record 13 more songs for a follow up album.” The same update notes that Robert Smith returned to the studio this summer “to help re-edit and re-mix ‘The Show of a Lost World’ film.”
The band issued the 24-track remix set “Mixes of a Lost World” on June 13, 2025, featuring contributors such as Four Tet, Mogwai, Paul Oakenfold, Chino Moreno and Orbital.
About The Cure
The Cure formed in Crawley, West Sussex, in the late 1970s. The group originated as Malice (1976) and Easy Cure (1977-78) before adopting the name The Cure. The earliest Cure lineup featured Robert Smith, Lol Tolhurst and Michael Dempsey.
The band signed to Fiction Records and released their debut album “Three Imaginary Boys” in 1979. Early 1980s releases “Seventeen Seconds,” “Faith” and “Pornography” established their darker post-punk identity, while mid-1980s albums like “The Head on the Door” broadened their audience.
“Disintegration” (1989) became their commercial and critical breakthrough, followed by “Wish” (1992) and later albums including “Bloodflowers” (2000) and “4:13 Dream” (2008). After a 16-year gap, The Cure released their 14th studio album, “Songs of a Lost World,” on November 1, 2024; in June 2025 they issued the 24-track “Mixes of a Lost World.”
The current lineup is Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, Roger O’Donnell, Jason Cooper and Reeves Gabrels.
