Description
At the intimate Troxy venue, The Cure celebrate the newly released Songs Of A Lost World and so much more, offering three hours of surprises, singalongs and pure emotion. When was the last time a band entered a creative renaissance 45 years in? It’s a nigh unheard-of feat, albeit one performed by The Cure with the release of today’s loooooooong-awaited album, Songs Of A Lost World. The praise for it has been universal, with many deeming the eight-song slab of solemnity to be the goth rockers’ best since 1989 magnum opus Disintegration.
Given mastermind Robert Smith’s teased two followup records to come, it seems The Cure are dusting themselves off at a time when most musicians pack it in. And, if album number 14 is indeed the doorway to a new era, the sextet rush in with passion at the accompanying release show.
Tickets to the event at the 3,000-capacity Troxy in London sold out almost instantly (to the surprise of no one), but those ardent few quick enough to snag entry are rewarded for their tenacity. Across three hours and two sets, The Cure will celebrate their comeback material, a classic album, and the almost half-century of genre-splicing anthems which propelled them to icon status. No stone goes unturned.
