The Cure – Mixes Of A Lost World 2xLP

Mixes of a Lost World is the third remix album by English rock band the Cure, released on 13 June 2025 by Fiction, and Polydor. The album features 24 remixes of songs from the band’s 2024 album Songs of a Lost World.

Background
The origins of Mixes of a Lost World come from a collection of unsolicited remixes of Songs of a Lost World tracks sent to Robert Smith who fancied them and was curious of how the whole album would sound entirely reinterpreted by others. In December, Smith confirmed the “companion release” was to be released,[5] adding that there was yet a “third one which is completely different. It’s really kind of random stuff, it’s like late-night studio stuff.”

On 21 April 2025, the band announced a remix album, featuring reworks by artists including Four Tet, Paul Oakenfold, and Orbital. It is the third collection of remixes of the Cure songs, after Mixed Up (1990), and Torn Down (2018).

The band announced that all of its recording royalties of Mixes of a Lost World will benefit the charity War Child UK, that supports children living with the effects of war and conflict, similarly to the case of the live album Songs of a Live World Troxy London MMXXlV, recorded at The Cure’s album launch show at the Troxy in East London.

When inviting the Danish electronic musician Trentemøller to the project, Smith wrote him a direct email, asking “if [he]’d be up for remixing a track from the Cure album.” He could choose whichever song. Around the time of announcement of the project, the English electronic musician and DJ Four Tet have been closing his recent shows with his own remix of “Alone”
