About
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.[4] 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.”[6]
On 21 April 2025, the band announced a remix album, featuring reworks by artists including Four Tet, Paul Oakenfold, and Orbital.[1][2] It is the third collection of remixes of the Cure songs, after Mixed Up (1990), and Torn Down (2018).[6]
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,[1] 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.[7]
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.[8] 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”.[9]
