Glitterball single




After eight consecutive top 3 UK albums, include five no. 1's and countless hit singles, Simple Minds return on a new label with a new album Neapolis released on 9 March, preceded by the single Glitterball on 23 February.

Produced by Charlie Burchill and Pete Walsh, and featuring the original line-up, Neapolis marks something of a return to their origins with the layers, trancey feel of Krautrock.

The single also features bonus remixes of classic tracks by Utah Saints, Jam & Spoon, Union Jack, Fila Brazilia and Philadelphia Bluntz.

The band will be playing live around Europe from mid-May including the major European festivals and a UK tour is planned for the late Summer.

Watch out for the video which was shot at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.
