Simple Minds announce their brand new studio album ‘Sacrosanct’ with today’s release of it’s first single "Beginner Boys". The album will arrive on 29th January 2027 and is available to pre-order right now!
The North American leg of their hugely successful Global Tour in 2025,
inspired Kerr and Burchill to draw on their art rock and new wave
roots, after witnessing fans in cities they’d never before played, react
ecstatically to early songs such as "Sons and Fascination".
This atmosphere prevails throughout Sacrosanct, and its eight
brilliantly crafted songs that have both a simplicity and an ethereal
directness to them.
The album finds the lifelong collaborators on supremely confident form, on one of their most vital albums in decades; one which recaptures the magic and majesty at the very heart of Simple Minds.
Sacrosanct is an artistic triumph and the third, alongside Walk Between Worlds and Direction of the Heart, in an emphatic trilogy.
The metalwork on the album artwork comes from a collaboration between Simple Minds and Glasgow-born sculptor Andy Scott, who has reimagined the band’s logo in steel. Scott was awarded an OBE in this year’s King’s Birthday Honours for services to sculpture and fine art.
A lifelong fan who first saw the band at Glasgow's Tiffany's in 1982,
Scott builds his large-scale outdoor works using a distinctive welded
assembly technique, composing each form from thousands of hand-cut steel
sections. He is best known for The Kelpies, the pair of 30-metre horse
heads at Falkirk — the largest equine sculptures in the world.
