28 Sep, 2016 Simple Minds Acoustic Released 11th Nov
On 11th November Simple Minds will release SIMPLE MINDS ACOUSTIC via Caroline International. This follows several years in which the band has gone from strength-to-strength, becoming more relevant than ever; the 2014 album BIG MUSIC received across the board praise, with MOJO magazine declaring it “their best album in 30 years”.
SIMPLE MINDS ACOUSTIC continues the band’s artistic quest with a one-off album release of stripped down and re-imagined songs spanning their eclectic and illustrious career. On the lead single Promised You A Miracle, the band are joined by fellow Scot KT Tunstall, whose distinctive vocals, acoustic strumming and rolling bass groove transform a piece of music that was the band’s first ‘pure pop song’ when it arrived in 1982.
On SIMPLE MINDS ACOUSTIC the band have found a way of doing the acoustic thing without losing their essence, and a dozen Simple Minds songs loved by millions now sound more organic and even more likely to leave a lasting imprint. The synths are no more – but the Celtic soul remains.
