Simple Minds will release new album 'Direction Of The Heart' on October 21st.
The new album was largely written in Sicily, where both Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill now live.
Quarantine rules meant the band couldn't travel to the UK, so Simple Minds based themselves in Hamburg’s Chameleon Studios during recording.
