An interview with Robert Smith once said that not only had they produced Songs of a Lost World, which they released in 2024, but had a second nearly finished LP and a third’s worth of wild, untamed sounds.

He also said, he wanted to get that second album released before they toured again.

There’s been no gigs since then, but today the band announced they’d be playing the Rock En Seine festival in France next summer…

…which may well mean that album comes out before then. Anytime between now and August 30th…

Yes, that’s a year, but we waited much longer for Lost World.
