The Cure’s latest album, Songs of a Lost World, is getting a makeover courtesy of such artists as Deftones’ singer Chino Moreno, Mogwai, Four Tet, Orbital, Paul Oakenfold, and others. A remix album titled Mixes of a Lost World will arrive on June 13th, with royalties benefiting the charity War Child UK.
“Just after Christmas I was sent a couple of unsolicited remixes of Songs of a Lost World tracks and I really loved them,” stated The Cure’s Robert Smith in a press release. “The Cure has a colorful history with all kinds of dance music, and I was curious as to how the whole album would sound entirely reinterpreted by others.”
He added, “This curiosity resulted in a fabulous trip through all 8 songs by 24 wonderful artists and remixers and is way beyond anything I could have hoped for. Giving our recording royalties from the project to war child helps make ‘mixes of a lost world’ an even more special release.”
