Dress better than before
German magazine Gitarre & Bass has an interview with Roger Glover published in their 10/2026 issue, and now online. All the usual caveats regarding reverse translations fully apply.
Roger, your last album, ‘=1’, was released almost two years ago. How were you able to come up with a follow-up so quickly – especially after a long tour?
That’s what we do. (laughs) And at our age, we can’t afford to wait any longer. Especially since the experience of touring with Simon was so fantastic; there was incredible energy and a tremendous drive to get going. We wanted to get back to the studio as soon as possible.In other words: You capitalized on the momentum?
Yes, and if we had taken a year off, the new album would definitely sound different. Luckily, it doesn’t. I think we made the right decision. Simon brought an incredible amount of energy to the band – he’s bursting with ideas and drive.
I’d say it’s like a cake recipe – change one ingredient, and everything changes. In our case, for the better: it sounds fresh again, and Simon is great to work with.

Thanks to Uwe for the heads-up.
