The new Pink Floyd album, “The Endless River” is scheduled to be released on November 10th, and the band has elected to issue two previews of what fans can expect.
Following the 2008 death of keyboardist Rick Wright, surviving Floyd members David Gilmour and Nick Mason began sifting through material they had recorded with the keyboardist.
In a statement, Gillmour said, “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,”
Speaking with Rolling Stone, drummer Nick Mason added, “The Endless River is a tribute to Rick. I think this record is a good way of recognizing a lot of what he does and how his playing was at the heart of the Pink Floyd sound.”
“Listening back to the sessions, it really brought home to me what a special player he was.”
“The Endless River” will be the band’s first new album in 20 years.
