The Cure return for their fourteenth studio album, and their first in over sixteen years. Songs Of A Lost World is a record about endings, about loss and grief, heavy subjects for which there is arguably no better band to tackle and while earlier Cure records have balanced the existential horrors with moments of pop levity and romantic beauty, this is a record seared by fear of mortality with a crushing, steady heaviness reminiscent of the darkest passages in the band's legendary career.
