The release of The Show of a Lost World follows last year’s Songs of a Lost World, The Cure’s first studio album in 16 years. The album was a huge success and topped the UK Albums Chart, along with peaking at #4 on the Billboard 200.
The album received critical acclaim, with Clash calling it “a grand, heartbreaking statement” and The Guardian writing that the album is “dark, personal and their best since Disintegration.”
The Cure also released a companion album, Mixes of a Lost World, featuring remixes of the tracks on the album from the likes of Four Tet, Paul Oakenfold and Orbital.
The Show of a Lost World arrives in select cinemas on December 11.
