Deep Purple have been quietly working on another album titled ‘=1’.
The cryptic title meaning will be revealed in coming weeks but right now they say “The enigmatic title ‘=1’ symbolises the idea that in a world growing ever more complex, everything eventually simplifies down to a single, unified essence. It all adds up to one.”
This video is from Berlin in April 2024.
In the recent Noise11 interview with Ian Paice, Ian made no mention of a new album.
However, in 2021, Roger Glover suggested to Noise11 that Whoosh may be their last album. With =1 and Turning to Crime, they’ve had two more.
=1 was once again produced by Bob Ezrin who also produced the previous four Deep Purple albums dating back to ‘Now What’ in 2013.
=1 will be released on 19 July 2024.
