Simple Minds connect Elysium with the Sacrosanct album
The management update lists Elysium as the next single from Sacrosanct and gives Friday 13 November 2026 as its release day. The announcement places the track directly within the album’s rollout.
Sacrosanct is due on 29 January 2027 through BMG. The record is presented as a studio album built around the band’s continuing work as songwriters and performers.
Simple Minds bring art rock and post-punk into the new set
Simple Minds are a Scottish rock band whose music spans art rock, post-punk, pop, ambient and stadium rock. Their catalogue has moved between atmospheric electronics, expansive guitar arrangements and direct songwriting.
The current line-up comprises Jim Kerr on vocals, Charlie Burchill on guitars, Gordy Goudie on acoustic guitar, Ged Grimes on bass, Cherisse Osei on drums, Erik Ljunggren on keyboards and Sarah Brown on vocals. That line-up gives Elysium a direct link to the band’s established combination of electronic texture, guitar and vocal melody.
