Deep Purple have released their brand-new studio album =1.
With three successful singles, “Portable Door,” “Pictures of You” and “Lazy Sod” – already making waves, listeners worldwide have been awaiting Deep Purple’s 23rd studio album.
The album, =1 follows the band’s consecutive No. 1 albums Whoosh! (2020), inFinite (2017) and NOW What?! (2013).
With Bob Ezrin once again producing, the record evokes the pioneering band’s classic sound, without relying on nostalgia. The new album, =1, embodies the essence and attitude of Deep Purple’s 1970s incarnation maybe more than any other album, the band said.
To celebrate the new album, Deep Purple is currently on the grand =1 MORE TIME world tour.
Yesterday evening, the first fans had the chance to experience the entire album at pre-listening events in selected indie record stores worldwide. Simultaneously, the film accompanying the new album, “Access All Areas,” premiered in more than 70 cinemas across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
