The Remedy have shared new music “Alone,” and, with it, affirmation that their first album in 16 years, Songs of a Misplaced World, will arrive on November 1. Robert Smith produced the long-teased album with Paul Corkett at Rockfield Studios in Wales. The Remedy will reveal the tracklist on their new web site and their social channels within the coming weeks. Take heed to “Alone” beneath, and scroll all the way down to see the album art work.
“Alone,” mentioned Robert Smith in a press launch, is “the observe that unlocked the file; as quickly as we had that piece of music recorded I knew it was the opening music, and I felt the entire album come into focus. I had been struggling to seek out the correct opening line for the correct opening music for some time, working with the easy concept of ‘being alone’, all the time at the back of my thoughts this nagging feeling that I already knew what the opening line must be… as quickly as we completed recording I remembered the poem ‘Dregs’ by the English poet Ernest Dowson… and that was the second after I knew the music—and the album—have been actual.”
On the trail to changing into “actual,” the follow-up to 2008’s 4:13 Dream has been by way of a cycle of ifs and maybes, beginning in 2019, when Smith mentioned the Remedy had been into the studio and recorded 19 epic songs that might fill a pair of albums. “We’ll end [an album] earlier than we begin [touring] in the summertime, and it’ll be blended by way of the summer time,” he instructed Rolling Stone that March. He quickly confessed to being just a little off schedule however insisted he could be “extraordinarily bitter” if the 2019 launch date fell by way of.
In early 2020, he refused to repeat the error, letting the album dwell in purgatory till 2022, when the band teased the Songs of a Misplaced World title and launched some new songs to setlists. Two of them, “And Nothing Is Without end” and “I Can By no means Say Goodbye,” are set for a dwell single this November.
