UPDATE: Pink Floyd has released a second teaser for The Endless River. Check it out below:
Do you know the definition of the word tease? It can be defined by the brief snippet of music that you can listen to below, which is a 30-second preview from the first Pink Floyd album in 20 years, The Endless River. The album, which is scheduled for a November 10th release, is the product of the 1993 Division Bell sessions, and features old, unreleased tracks from David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and the late Richard Wright, and is an “album of mainly ambient and instrumental music.”
Gilmour issued the following statement about the album:
“The Endless River has as its starting point the music that came from the 1993 Division Bell sessions. We listened to over 20 hours of the three of us playing together and selected the music we wanted to work on for the new album. Over the last year we’ve added new parts, re-recorded others and generally harnessed studio technology to make a 21st century Pink Floyd album. With Rick gone, and with him the chance of ever doing it again, it feels right that these revisited and reworked tracks should be made available as part of our repertoire.”
Listen to the unmistakable, beautiful tone of David Gilmour’s guitar:
