The Cure - Songs Of A Lost World
 

The Cure - Songs Of A Lost World - Capitol Records

After 16 years, THE CURE is back with their 14th studio album, SONGS OF A LOST WORLD. Songs from the record were previewed during their 90-date, 33-country ‘Shows Of A Lost World’ tour for more than 1.3 million people to overwhelming fan and critical acclaim. Speaking about, “Alone,” the opening track on the album, Robert Smith says, “It’s the track that unlocked the record; as soon as we had that piece of music recorded, I knew it was the opening song and I felt the whole album come into focus... that was the moment when I knew the song – and the album – were real.” Robert Smith created the sleeve concept and Andy Vella, a longtime Cure collaborator, handled the album’s art and design. The cover art features ‘Bagatelle,’ a 1975 sculpture by Janez Pirnat.

What's New 11-1-24

Powerflo
New Damage Records

Powerflo combines the passionate, chaotic, and authentic urgency of a brand-new band with the unrivaled experience of its trailblazing members. Senen Reyes (Cypress Hill), Billy Graziadei (Biohazard), and Christian Olde Wolbers (Fear Factory) are genre giants who shaped heavy music and hip-hop and continue to innovate with Gorilla Warfare.

Elvis Costello
UMe

King of America traces Costello’s musical travels from Hollywood – where the original album was recorded in 1986 – to a brand new take on “Brilliant Mistake” cut in Cape Fear early in 2024, via recording adventures in New Orleans, Oxford, Nashville and Memphis, and guided by his 35-page essay and rare and never-before seen photos.

Skillet
Hear It Loud

After nearly three decades, eleven albums, and thousands of shows worldwide, Skillet play louder, fight harder, and sound more rebellious than ever. With Revolution, they deliver an insurgent, infectious, and inimitable body of work with their twelfth full-length offering and first-ever independent album.

Weezer
Geffen

One of the most important debut albums of all time, Weezer’s “blue” album celebrates 30 years with an extensive Deluxe 3CD boxset. Includes 50 tracks, 36 of which were previously unreleased, including 8 Kitchen Tape Demos, 22 early practices and live recordings, 6 BBC radio recordings (2 never broadcasted), and 4 tracks from their LMU sessions.

Illiterate Light
Thirty Tigers / Red Book Records

Is this guitar-driven indie rock? Kaleidoscopic psychedelia? Synth-kissed folk? What does one do with an album beginning with “fake tits and diet coke,” then pivoting to train derailments in rural Ohio and never-ending black holes? Well you capture the energy of your live shows—fans crowd-surfing, moshing, crying, and crooning—and infuse it into your latest release.

Mxmtoon
AWAL / Turtle Girl Records LLC

Though this album’s subject matter feels deeper and darker than the 2022’s Rising, Maia doesn’t fail to bring across playful humor and fascinating detail, which when combined with a new folk pop/rock blend and excellent production, sounds hugely dynamic and will stick in your head for days.

Wilderado
AWAL / Bright Antenna Ent.

A spirited, soul-searching record built out of real passion and raw emotions, Wilderado’s Talker is a beautifully warm, tender, and achingly vulnerable folk rock reverie that finds the Tulsa, Oklahoma band living in the moment and taking in everything life has to offer them.

The Cure
Capitol

The Cure is at an artistic peak on their first album in 16 years: movingly melancholic, with a punchy sound to match the lyrics’ emotional impact. Two more records may be arriving at some point, but this album feels sufficient enough for the wait we’ve endured, just for being arguably the most personal album of their career. Mortality may loom, but there’s color in the black and flowers on the grave.

Lil Peep
AWAL / Death Note Music, LLC

With its full-blown cries for help, and juxtaposing boastful lyrics, Gustav Elijah Åhr immediately managed to create a mind-bending sound of his own with this debut project. Within a scene of hundreds of other artists trying to do what Lil Peep could only do, Part One remains a quintessential introduction.

Oak Ridge Boys - Mama's Boys

Oak Ridge Boys - Mama's Boys - Lightning Rod Records

The Oak Ridge Boys were asking each other, “Who is the person that first taught us about love, living, friends, God, and the other important things in our lives?” We agreed that would be our mothers. Down deep in our hearts, we all felt we were “mama’s boys. In this album, there are heartfelt songs, spiritual songs, memories of growing up, songs about being taught life’s lessons, and fun songs about eating way too much of mama’s home cookin’. We all had a great time singing about the things that mama taught us.

Ben Folds - Sleigher

Ben Folds - Sleigher - New West Records

“Christmas is constant,” says Ben Folds. “Allowing you to take stock of what’s different, to understand who you are and all the ways you’ve grown and changed.” That notion lies at the heart of Folds’ brilliantly titled new holiday collection, Sleigher. Built on an eclectic mix of originals and reimagined classics, the album examines thepassage of time through the lens of Christmas, reflecting on memory, loss, and longing as it explores the variety of ways the yuletide season marks the chapters of our lives. The songs are playful here, full of humor and cheer, but they’re also laced with an inescapable sense of melancholy, a looming darkness that always seems to hover around the periphery of those late December nights. Folds’ performances, meanwhile, flirt with the standards while stretching the boundaries of tradition, at times offering up flashes of Vince Guaraldi and Burt Bacharach while still remaining true to Folds’ singularly virtuosic brand of off-kilter indie pop. The result is not so much a Ben Folds Christmas record as it is a Ben Folds record set at Christmas, a meditation on the inexorable turning of the calendar and our ever changing selves as observed at the most wonderful—and challenging—time of the year.
