New Pink Floyd album out soon
“The Endless River” is the name of a brand new Pink Floyd album to be released later this year. The material on this album originate from the 1993 “Division Bell” sessions when David Gilmour, Rick Wright and Nick Mason played freely together at the Britannia Row and Astoria studios.
In 2013 David Gilmour and Nick Mason revisited the music from those sessions and decided that the tracks should be made available as part of the Pink Floyd repertoire. It would be the last time the three of them would be heard together as Pink Floyd keyboard player Richard ‘Rick’ Wright would die in 2008. The band have spent the last year recording and upgrading the music, using the advantages of modern studio technology to create “The Endless River”.
“The Endless River” is not surprisingly a tribute to Rick Wright. It is a mainly instrumental album with one song, “Louder Than Words” holding new lyrics by Polly Samson, arranged across 4 sides and produced by David Gilmour, Phil Manzanera, Youth and Andy Jackson.
Release date: 10 November 2014.
