The Cure Is Back In Full Goth-Rock Force
Nov 22, 2024
16 years after their last album was released, The Cure is back! Their new album, Songs of a Lost World, has arrived, sounding like the classic Cure we know and love. Longtime design collaborator Andy Vella created the album’s dark cover, ensuring that none of the ’80s goth vibes were lost in this new release.
Primarily inspired by a sculpture by artist Janez Pirnat, the cover art is intended to evoke desolation and timelessness—perfectly fitting for Robert Smith and the band. Vella’s design not only captures the album’s emotional depth but also resonates with both longtime fans and newcomers as a visual embodiment of The Cure’s gothic legacy.
