After 16 years, The Cure is back with Songs of a Lost World, a record that feels like it’s emerged slowly from the shadows rather than sprung from some dramatic comeback narrative. True to form, Robert Smith doesn’t lean on big hooks or flashy production; instead, he lets the music unfold on its own terms, taking its time in the way that only a band with nothing left to prove can.
The Heroic Enthusiasts’ latest EP, Wake Me When It’s Over, is a two-track release that expertly bridges 80s New Wave with contemporary electronic textures. Produced by Stephen Hague, a legend behind artists like New Order and Erasure, the New York duo of James Tabbi and Thomas Ferrara bring their Brit-pop and post-punk influences to life with precision and emotional depth.
