Deep Purple’s brand-new studio album “Whoosh!” follows their worldwide chart-topping albums “inFinite” (2017) and “NOW What?!” (2013). For the third time, Deep Purple joins forces with producer Bob Ezrin. The new album is possibly the most versatile of the three the British legends have produced with Ezrin, “stretching out in all directions”, to quote the producer’s exact words, without any limitation, letting the creativity find its way.
“Deep Purple is putting the Deep back into Purple” was the half-joking motto in the studio after the first songs were written. It seemed clear that Purple were on a path to creating an album suspended above the boundaries of time and music trends, while voicing their resentment about the current situation of the world and addressing all generations.
“Whoosh is an onomatopoeic word that, when viewed through one end of a radio-telescope, describes the transient nature of humanity on Earth; and, through the other end from a closer perspective, illustrates the career of Deep Purple.” - ig
“Whoosh!” will be available as Limited CD+DVD Mediabook (incl. the 1h feature “Roger Glover and Bob Ezrin in conversation” and, for the first time, the full live performance at Hellfest 2017 as video), 2LP+DVD Edition, Limited Boxset and Digital on August 7th, 2020 on earMUSIC.
