New Simple Minds Album
Simple Minds are working hard on the release their new album, "Graffiti Soul and it should be ready on May 25th (Universal Music Records).
The group has been very active in the last year, touring the U.K. and Europe with their 30th Anniversary Tour. While on tour, they wrote the music and eventually went into Rockfield Studios, where they had recorded some of their best work.
"Graffiti Soul is a bold and energetic collection of songs," relates lead singer Jim Kerr. "And we could not be happier with the result. Stylistically, this is a truly vibrant rock’n’roll album that’s bursting at the seams with quite possibly the most ballsy pop songs we have written in years."
"It’s taken us a while, but over the last couple of years Charlie Burchill and I have put together a great team of individuals to work with, and that, as well as a revitalized and energetic new commitment has triggered an effect that has dramatically overhauled Simple Minds. Graffiti Soul is testament to that.”
