During an appearance on “Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon” Jeff Gutt revealed that Stone Temple Pilots have finished their new album. The effort is expected to be released in 2020.
Gutt previously called the album an “acoustic record,” but he has since clarified saying there were “no rules on it having to be acoustic or anything, [but] it has a vibe to it, and it’s beautiful.” He went on to confirm that “it’s all new songs.”
He also added:
“With the ‘Purple’ thing happening, it’s pushing back the other thing. ‘Cause we were only supposed to do a few songs, and it turned into a full record, ’cause we had so much creativity happening at the time. So we just made a whole record.”
Gutt also said the music is “definitely different” and that “it’s a very beautiful record” that he is “really happy with.”
Stone Temple Pilots will be releasing a remastered, deluxe 25th anniversary edition of “Purple” on September 13 via Rhino Records. The effort will be available as a 2-CD set, digitally, and as a super deluxe set (limited to 1,000), which will come with 1 LP, 3 CDs, a record slipmat and a replica of the “Interstate Love Song“ 7 inch that was released in the UK in 1994. That 7 inch will come with the title track and “Lounge Fly.“ Pre-orders can be found HERE and you can stream a previously unreleased acoustic version of “Big Empty” from the release below:

According to TMZ, Stone Temple Pilots’ Dean DeLeo has fired back at his estranged wife Jenn DeLeo, who previously filed for divorce and accused the guitarist of domestic violence, alcohol/drug abuse, infidelity, and more. In new legal documents obtained by the site, Dean claims that he has never been abusive, he has never cheated on her, and he has been clean and sober since 2013. He also attached some declarations from his son, ex-wife, and current girlfriend, who all say he’s a good father. On top of all this, he further claims that Jenn previously accused her ex-husband of abuse as well and that she is now trying to do the same thing to him. You can read more about all that HERE.
