The Cure have released “Warsong (Chino Moreno Remix)” from the upcoming collection “Mixes Of A Lost World.”
Deftones’ frontman Moreno calls the work a “slow-building, brooding musical piece” and his remix maximizes the dreamy and emotive feel of the track.
“Mixes Of A Lost World,” conceived and compiled by Robert Smith, is a new remix collection of tracks from The Cure’s No. 1 2024 album, “Songs Of a Lost World.”
The set features brand-new remixes from Four Tet, Paul Oakenfold, Orbital and many more, with the deluxe edition including additional remixes and reworks Mogwai, 65daysofstatic, The Twilight Sad & Trentemøller among others.
Deftones’ frontman Moreno reimagined “Warsong,” which is available now alongside mixes from Four Tet and Paul Oakenfold.
“I chose Warsong to remix as it’s one of those slow-building, brooding musical pieces that have always drawn me into The Cure’s music,” Moreno said. “My idea with this remix was to strip it back slightly of its organic instrumentation and bring in ridged, mechanical percussion and some down-pitched vocals aimed to bring forth the cold/dystopic feel of the song while maintaining the core beauty of what existed.”
This collection will be released on June 13 on Fiction/Capitol Records, with all The Cure’s recording royalties benefitting War Child UK.
“Mixes of a Lost World” will be available as 3LP/3CD/3MC deluxe editions featuring both the “Artists’ & ‘Remixers'” tracks. The 3LP set includes three half speed mastered 180g heavyweight black bio vinyl LPs, a tri-gatefold printed sleeve, and a large foldout poster; the triple deluxe CD has an 8-panel digisleeve and includes a foldout poster; the limited edition 3MC set has individually printed o-cards and obi-strip and is exclusive to The Cure store.
The 2LP/2CD/2MC edition features the ‘Remixers’ tracks only and comes as a black vinyl 2LP with a gatefold sleeve; a double CD in 6-panel digisleeve includes foldout CD poster; the limited edition double cassette has individually printed o-cards and obi-strip is also exclusive to The Cure store.
Initially formed in 1978, The Cure has sold over 30 million albums worldwide, headlined the Glastonbury festival four times and been inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2019. They are considered to be one of the most influential bands to ever come out of the UK. The Cure’s first album in 16 years, “Songs Of A Lost World” reached No. 1 in 15 countries and the top five in a further seven.
Andy Vella, a long-time Cure collaborator, has “remixed” the artwork for the album, which as with “Songs Of A Lost World,” features “Bagatelle,” a 1975 sculpture by Janez Pirnat.
