About this album

Sister Feelings Call is a striking companion piece that captures Simple Minds in the midst of their early creative leap. Issued in 1981, it reflects the band’s post-punk and new wave roots while pointing towards the larger, more melodic sound that would soon bring wider success. The record includes ‘Theme For Great Cities’, one of the band’s best-known instrumental pieces, and balances rhythmic drive with abstract tension and atmosphere. Arriving during a productive run that also produced Sons and Fascination, it helped establish Simple Minds as one of the most distinctive British groups of the period, moving from angular art-rock towards a more expansive vision.
