Deep Purple has released a new album, Whoosh!, their 21st studio LP, via earMUSIC. The Aug. 7 title follows their albums inFinite (2017) and NOW What?! (2013).
Listen to several songs below.
Says a press release, “For the third time, Deep Purple joins forces with producer Bob Ezrin, who invited the band to Nashville to write and record new songs. Together they created the most versatile album in their collaboration. Deep Purple ‘stretched out in all directions’ without any limitation, letting their creativity go. Deep Purple is putting the Deep back into Purple’ was the half-joking motto in the studio after the first songs made it clear that Ezrin and Purple were on their path to creating an album pushing the boundaries of time, while voicing their resentment about the current situation of the world and addressing all generations.”
Listen to “Nothing at All”
After exploring the subject of time and space with “Throw My Bones” and following the concerned look into the future of the second single “Man Alive,” “Nothing At All” brings a big philosophical question: is it really “nothing at all”?
