The Cure have announced a new Songs of a Lost World remix album. The new album, Mixes of a Lost World, is out June 13 and features remixes by Deftones frontman Chino Moreno, Trentemøller, Mogwai, Orbital, the Twilight Sad, Daniel Avery, Mura Masa, Âme, Shanti Celeste, and more. Below, hear two new remixes from the album, Four Tet’s take on “Alone” and Paul Oakenfold’s “cinematic” remix of “I Can Never Say Goodbye.”
Proceeds from Mixes of a Lost World will benefit War Child UK. In a statement, the Cure’s Robert Smith said, “Just after Christmas I was sent a couple of unsolicited remixes of Songs of a Lost World tracks and I really loved them. The Cure has a colourful 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.”
Songs of a Lost World was released in November. It marked the Cure’s first studio album since October 2008’s 4:13 Dream.
