Pink Floyd have revealed details of their upcoming album, “The Endless River,” which marks the band’s first new release in 20 years.
According to a new interview in Uncut, the album has a release date of November 10. David Gilmour and Nick Mason began the recording process in November 2013 and spent 30 days overdubbing guitars and recording drums. Roxy Music guitarist and producer Phil Manzanera was also heavily involved in the creative process.
Pink Floyd’s website has also revealed the album’s artwork and tracklist. Spanning 18 tracks, the album will be available on standard CD, double vinyl, and as a deluxe box set that includes 39-minutes of extra material.
Of particular note is the inclusion of original organ recordings from Pink Floyd’s Richard Wright, taken from rehearsals dating back to June 1969.
The Endless River contains “more atmospheric and digressive aspects of Pink Floyd and includes snippets of conversation.” One song, “Louder Than Words”, contains lyrics embracing the full history of the band. Gilmour sings: “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.”
