Unable to come to the UK because of COVID-19 quarantine rules, the album was recorded at Hamburg’s Chameleon Studios. Most of the album’s tracks were realized in Sicily, where both Kerr and Burchill live. The band’s new album, Direction of the Heart, is out tomorrow via BMG. Simple Minds’ current lineup also features vocalist and fellow founding member Jim Kerr, alongside bassist Ged Grimes, drummer Cherisse Osei, and vocalist Sarah Brown. He will take to the stage in a few hours on their latest tour with positive energy and the pure joy of playing live very evident. Despite residing in Italy for years, he has not lost his thick Glaswegian accent. As one of the founding members of Simple Minds way back in 1977, guitarist Charlie Burchill seems to be working as hard as ever with no sign of the band slowing down.
