Four Tet, Orbital, Paul Oakenfold, Mogwai and Deftones frontman Chino Moreno are among the artists crafting remixes for the aptly named Mixes of a Lost World, which recasts material from the Cure’s acclaimed 2024 comeback album Songs of a Lost World. The new volume is out June 13 from Fiction/Capitol, and the Cure are donating all recording royalties to War Child U.K.
Four Tet’s version of “Alone” and Oakenfold’s remix of “Can Never Say Goodbye” are both out now. Click here to pre-order Mixes of a Lost World in three-LP, CD or cassette formats.
“Just after Christmas, I was sent a couple of unsolicited remixes of Songs of a Lost World tracks and I really loved them,” says Cure frontman Robert Smith. “The Cure has a colorful 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.”
The cover art for the album, based on the 1976 Janez Pirnat sculpture Bagatelle, has also been reworked by longtime collaborator Andy Vella.
