The Cure has announced a new live vinyl featuring 2 new songs, Novembre: Live in France 2022, their first new songs since 2008's 4:13 Dream.
Novembre: Live in France 2022 is also a benefit project and will be released on new type of eco-friendly vinyl. All profits will go to British musician, Brian Eno's climate change-focused charity, Earth Percent. The single will be produced through the Naked Record Club, which boasts a special pressing machine that uses an estimated 80 to 90% less electricity than traditional vinyl processes.
"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's Novembre: Live In France 2022," Eno said in an official statement. "It's a powerful example of how the music community can work together to build a better world."
Naked Record Club also uses highly recyclable plastics to create both the singles and their packaging. The band said this project was "brought to Robert Smith's attention via members of the Cure's fanbase."
"And Nothing Is Forever" was recorded on Nov. 8, 2022, at Sud de France Arena in Montpellier, while the performance of "I Can Never Say Goodbye" is from a Nov. 13 concert at Le Zenith in Toulouse.
