The Cure - Songs of a Lost World

Its coming.

Received a plain black postcard sized envelope today with my name and address in silver writing.

Inside was what looked like a blank black postcard. Good quality card.

Noticed the tiniest embossed writing on it...a bit scattered..

Took a while - it reads "songs from a lost world"

At the bottom - in roman numerals is the date 1/11/24

 

!!!!!!

 

I have a feeling today will be the day for the announcement...

 

<falls off chair>

 

I have a horrible feeling it's going to be a live album.

 

I'm just hoping for another tour - 2022 seems a long time ago.

 

Smith's got a thing about the number 13 and tomorrow is Friday 13th...would he...?

 

Pretty sure they were playing MSG when I visited NYC last year.

 

I meant when I last saw them here in the U.K.

 

1/11 is my birthday

 

1/11 is a Friday. Seems legit.

 

I’m guessing Smith is using UK convention and it means Nov 1st!!

 

Are you on a physical mailing list of some kind?

 

I bought tour posters online from them after the last UK tour - that’s all I can think of.

 

Mine too. A new album that day would be a nice present.

 

I bought a shirt from their online store, I wonder if I’ll get something

 

Yup. Plus November 1 is a Friday. The card read "1/11/24." January 11 2024 already happened (obviously), and Jan. 11 2025 is a Saturday.

And all this fuss (the postcard, the website change, the social media stuff) makes me think this is the new studio album, not "just" a live album.

 

That’s amazing…

 

Whaaaa!!

 

Good point - the 24 is a dead giveaway!

 

Believe it when it's on my turntable

 

Thread and info need changing to 'Songs Of A Lost World' to avoid any confusion ..as that is what is stamped on that postcard, and the given name for the album.

 

Amazing if true. I doubted this record would ever materialize, but I would be quite happy to be proven wrong!
