"Guilt Trippin'" begins with a deceptively gentle piano intro and soon bursts into one of SPLAT!'s most unpredictable and exhilarating moments - featuring one of Ian Gillan's most memorable vocal performances on the album.
Behind the music lies another one of “Splat’s” wonderfully bizarre stories: "Guilt Trippin'" imagines God and Charles Darwin sharing a drink in a pub, reflecting on how things on earth have not exactly worked out according to plan. The accompanying video follows a fly and a sycamore-seed spaceship on a wild ride through the increasingly absurd and dreamlike world of “Splat!”
"The song starts, and I'm in the studio. I don't have any words for it yet," Gillan explains. "So I just start screaming. It was the pure joy of yelling it. I vowed when I was 40 that I'd stop screaming by the time I was 60. Now I'm looking back and thinking, 'Whatever happened to that?' So we'll give it a go."
Due July 3 via earMUSIC and produced by Bob Ezrin, the project draws on the sound and attitude that has always set Deep Purple apart from the rest.
