The Cure have announced a 12-inch eco-vinyl single featuring two new songs: ‘And Nothing Is Forever’ and ‘I Can Never Say Goodbye’. Novembre – Live in France 2022 is set for release on October 1, with net profits going to Brian Eno’s climate charity, Earth Percent.
‘And Nothing Is Forever’ was recorded at Montpellier’s Sud de France Arena on November 8, 2022, while ‘I Can Never Say Goodbye’ was recorded on November 13 at the band’s show in Toulouse. The double A-sided single will be released through Naked Record Club, which employs an injection-molding machine that uses significantly less electricity than traditional vinyl pressing machines. Only 5,000 copies will be available, and the first 100 pressings will be signed by Robert Smith.
In a statement, Eno said, “I’d like to thank The Cure and NAKED Record Club – both true innovators – for their generous support of vital climate projects through the release of The Cure – Novembre: Live In France 2022. It’s a powerful example of how the music community can work together to build a better world.”
The Cure previously announced an album titled Songs of a Lost World, which would serve as the follow-up to 2008’s 4:13 Dream, but details have yet to be shared.
