A few months ago, Pink Floyd members David Gilmour and Nick Mason announced that they have been working on a new album, called Endless River. Culled from instrumental work during the 1993-4 Division Bell studio sessions, the album is considered a swan song for keyboardist Rick Wright, who passed away in 2008. Roger Waters will not be involved.
Today, details about the album have come to light, via an official announcement from Pink Floyd. Endless River will be released on November 10th, on CD, vinyl, and through a limited edition box set that includes 39 minutes of bonus audio-visual Pink Floyd material, including three audio tracks and six videos.
The album itself will be almost-entirely instrumental, except for one track, “Louder Than Words,” containing the following lyrics:
We bitch and we fight
But this thing that we do
It’s louder than words
The sum of our parts
The beat of our hearts
It’s louder than words
