In a development that promises to excite fans across the globe, The Cure has announced the release of Mixes Of A Lost World, an expansive remix package set to drop on June 13, 2025. This thrilling project will complement their recent studio effort, Songs Of A Lost World, which marked the band’s return after a lengthy 16-year hiatus in 2024.
Spanning 24 tracks, Mixes Of A Lost World boasts an impressive roster of contemporary artists reinterpreting selections from the original LP. Fans can look forward to fresh takes from renowned names in the electronic and alternative music scenes, including Four Tet, Orbital, Shanti Celeste, Mogwai, and the innovative Ex-Easter Island Head. These collaborations promise to breathe new life into Robert Smith’s evocative soundscapes, rekindling the haunting melodies that fans have cherished through the decades.
In a statement shared via Instagram, The Cure highlighted their commitment to giving back: the band’s share of royalties from this remix project will be generously donated to War Child UK, an organization dedicated to protecting children caught in conflict. It’s a poignant move that embodies the band’s enduring sense of social responsibility as they navigate the murky waters of modern music.
As a tantalizing preview, listeners can already check out Four Tet’s mesmerizing remix of “Alone,” a standout track from the original album. Layer upon layer of intricate synths and pulsating beats, Four Tet’s take transforms the introspective song into an ethereal electronic masterpiece, showcasing the seamless blend of The Cure’s legacy with contemporary sound.
The enthusiasm surrounding The Cure’s Songs Of A Lost World—first released last November—has elevated anticipation for their remix collection. The band’s 16th studio album was met with a hearty reception, and its subsequent live album, featuring an intimate performance captured at London’s Troxy, added to the growing excitement.
As we approach the release of Mixes Of A Lost World, fans are reminded that great music transcends time, and when it comes to reimaginings, The Cure is still proving they can embrace change while staying true to their roots.
