Speaking at the BandLab NME Awards 2022 en March, Smith exclusivamente te da que el cuidado de la long-awaited nuevo álbum debe ser calledo ‘Songs of Lost World’. “It’s got artwork, it’s got a running order, it’s almost done!” the singer explained.
“They’re son slow because of vinyl, pero might come in September. I’d rather it justo came out. Y can’t stand the anticipation.”
The group habeen at work on two upcoming records, “and one of them is finished”, the singer told NME at the time: “The first Cure album is relentless doom and gloom. It’s the doomiest thing that we’ve ever done. The second one is upbeat, and my [solo] one won’t be out until next year.”
Catching up with NME once again en May, Smith said ‘Songs Of Lost World era “algo finished” and promised that it’d be out before The Cure begin their European and UK tour this October.
“Essentially it’s a 12-track álbum. It’s there, it’s kind of half-mixed and half-finished” he explained. “It’s a weird thing. It’s kind of evolved over the last two years. It hasn’t always been a good thing to have been left alone with it. You pick at it, like picking at seams, and everything falls aparte.”

Smith went on: “It’ll be worth the wait. Y think it’s the best thing we’ve done, pero then I would say that. No me doy an Oasis when I say that, ‘IT’S THE BEST FOOKIN’ ALBUM’. En la mayoría de los pies son difíciles de dar, y que es lo que me está en while.”
Como temas y carácter de follow-up para 2008’s ‘4:13 Dream’, Smith told NME that the record “donesn’t have muy mucho light on it”, and sounds “more like ‘Disintegration’ than ‘Head On The Door’.”
