NME story about the postcards

The Cure send fans postcards confirming new album title and release date

Their first album in 16 years will arrive soon

The Cure have sent fans postcards seemingly confirming their new album title and release date.

Some fans have taken to social media to share videos and speculate after receiving black postcards embossed to read ‘Songs Of A Lost World’ in scattered letting. At the bottom of the cryptic cards is the date 1/11/24 in Roman numerals, suggesting that their long-awaited album should be set to arrive on November 1.

Read the rest at NME.

Songs of a Lost World on Nov. 1st?

Update: From The Tongue of Kai - Todays treasures arrived early, weren't supposed to arrive before tomorrow, so expect more postcards in mailboxes tomorrow. ;)

Correction: Looks like the first person misread it.  a second card says it's still Songs OF a Lost World. 

Have also seen many other cards that also confirm the title is Songs of a Lost World, also with the 1/11/24 date.
