This weeks album of the week is, Deep Purple – Whoosh
Whoosh! is the twenty-first studio album by English rock band Deep Purple, released on 7 August 2020.
The group collaborated with producer Bob Ezrin, who had also worked for their previous two albums. They enjoyed the recording and production. Its release was promoted by a series of press statements from singer Ian Gillan, such as “Another album?! Whoosh?!! Gordon Bennett!!!”. He explained the album’s title was chosen for its onomatopoeic qualities, and “when viewed through one end of a radio-telescope, describes the transient nature of humanity on Earth”. He also said fans should simply listen to the album as an enjoyable experience.
