Deep Purple - release Lazy Sod - single and video
In the midst of summer and the rock festival season, Deep Purple has released ‘Lazy Sod’ today, the third song from their upcoming album ‘=1’.
Deep Purple’s latest song, ‘Lazy Sod’, is now available for streaming and as instant gratification track with all digital download pre-orders for ‘=1’.
Alongside the single release, the official music video for ‘Lazy Sod’ is now live on Deep Purple’s YouTube channel.
Asked about the song’s inspiration, frontman Ian Gillan explained in an interview:
"Recently, a young journalist asked me how many songs I had written in my life. I replied that the last time my assistant counted, twenty years ago, it was over 500. I felt quite accomplished until she pointed out Dolly Parton's 5,000 songs, calling me a lazy sod. I couldn't help but agree and wrote down the exchange in my notebook."(ROCKS magazine, June 2024)
Produced once again by iconic Bob Ezrin, the new album ‘=1’ captures the purest classic Deep Purple sound, without relying on nostalgia.
