The rest of the tracklist will be revealed in the coming weeks on the band’s social media profiles and official website.

On the first single – which is also the album’s opening track – the frontman Robert Smith He said: “It’s the song that unlocked the album; as soon as we recorded that song I knew it had to be the opening song and I felt the whole album come into focus.

For a while I was trying to find the right opening line for the right song to lead the way for the project, working on the concept of ‘being alone’, always with the nagging feeling of already knowing what the opening line should be. As soon as we finished recording I remembered the poem ‘Dregs’ by the English poet Ernest Dowson. And that was the moment I knew the song – and the album – had become something concrete”.

“Songs of a Lost World” It was written and arranged by Robert Smithproduced and mixed by Robert Smith & Paul Corkett and sung by Care – Robert Smith: Voice / guitar / bass / keyboards, Simon Gallup: low, Jason Cooper: drums / percussion, Roger O’Donnell: keyboard, Reeves Gabrels: guitar.
