The record will appear on their upcoming albumSongs of a Lost World.
The Cure also brought longtime fans into the fold to help tease the release.

Postcards featuring the album title and apparent release date were mailed out to fans in the U.K.
They first performed Alone live nearly two years ago in at Arena Riga in Latvia.
They opened each show of the tour with the unreleased record and gradually introduced new songs onto the setlist.
In a funny way, I was trying to achieve nostalgia for a world that never happened.
And I think thats still what I want the world to be, Smith said.
Thats why Im struggling a little bit with the lyrics.
Musically, I think weve done it.
Its just lyrically, I need to confirm that its working.
He added: We seem to keep rewriting songs.
I dont think Ive quite nailed some of them.
Ive sung most of it, but I think it has to be the best thing.
I cant do the whole, Thatll do.
