Simple Minds will release an acoustic album later this year.
'Simple Minds Acoustic' is due to arrive on November 11 via Caroline International and will feature stripped back versions of their classic hits, including cuts from their debut LP, 'Life In A Day' and 1982’s 'New Gold Dream', as well as their breakthrough single, Don’t You (Forget About Me).
Discussing the record, lead singer Jim Kerr said:
“Our songs mean a lot to people, so we had to be careful. It wasn’t a case of just knocking up some acoustic riffs. We had to show respect to the songs and retain everything that made them good in the first place, and we wanted to create a Simple Minds party album, not a traditional, introspective acoustic album – more something that people will play during goods times. This experience has reinvigorate and excited us about the potential of new songs, which we’ll begin recording soon.”
