According to fans who have received postcards from the band, The Cure’s first new album in 16 years is finally coming soon.
This week, some of The Cure’s fan club members received black matte postcards that seemingly confirmed the title and release date of the band’s forthcoming album.
Looking at the postcards, The Cure’s follow-up to 2008’s 4:13 Dream is set for release on Friday, 1 November. On the postcard, the new LP should be called Songs Of A Lost World.
As Audacy reports, the English gothic rockers also recently scrubbed the front page of their website, updating their logo to a minimalistic black background with the words “the CURE” on it and a notice to sign up for updates.
The change on the website follows a recent post by guitarist Reeves Gabrels, who wrote on Instagram: “The Cure website is www dot thecure dot com -- where you can sign up for news. #thecure #songsofalostworld @thecure”. The logo has also been updated on the band’s social media profiles.

In 2022, singer Robert Smith teased new material in an interview with NME, telling the publication: “I’ve been working on two Cure albums, and one of them is finished,” stating that Songs Of A Lost World was set for release in September of that year. He also described the album as “the doomiest thing that we’ve ever done.”
Next month, The Cure will officially release their first new music in 16 years, dropping the singles, And Nothing Is Forever, and I Can Never Say Goodbye on eco-vinyl on Tuesday, 1 October.
The songs will be shared as part of a release called Novembre: Live In France 2022. And Nothing Is Forever was recorded at Sud de France Arena, Montpellier, on Tuesday, 8 November 2022. I Can Never Say Goodbye was recorded five days later at the Zénith Toulouse Métropole. You can pre-order the vinyl here.

I love that @thecure appear to have announced the release date of their first new album in 16 years with a single poster outside the local pub they played their first gig at in 1978. https://t.co/BJqNGjlRWW
