Songs of a Lost World
The album is titled Songs of a Lost World and the group had already dropped two tracks from the LP on streaming services. So why did it take so long for this record to be produced? The project has been long discussed by Robert Smith throughout several interviews.

It has soundscapes on it, like Disintegration, I suppose.
