LONDON, Feb. 13 (UPI) -- The Scottish rock band Simple Minds has announced plans to release its first new album in four years this spring.

The BBC said the group's 15th studio album, "Graffiti Soul," is set to drop May 25 and a worldwide concert tour to support it is expected to follow.

Singer-songwriter Jim Kerr told the British broadcaster the band's latest CD features "the most ballsy pop songs we have written in years."

"Sometimes you hit a period where everything just fits together perfectly and turns out exactly as you hoped it would," Kerr said. "'Graffiti Soul' reflects that very sentiment."

The band is best known for its song, "Don't You Forget About Me," which appeared in the 1980s teen film classic, "The Breakfast Club."
