We received official word from Pink Floyd public relations firm LD Communications of London this afternoon, confirming a new album from the group to be released this fall.
Here is the announcement, in its entirety:
Pink Floyd can confirm that they are releasing a new album “The Endless River” in October 2014. It is an album of mainly ambient and instrumental music based on the 1993/4 Division Bell sessions which feature David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright. The album is produced by David Gilmour with Phil Manzanera, Youth and recording engineer Andy Jackson. Work is still in progress, but more details to come at the end of the Summer.
While driving between Bryan, Ohio, USA and Defiance, Ohio, USA I was listening to a small, new radio station. At that point they were playing some pieces from Dark Side Of The Moon. When it ended a rather young woman who obviously was the dj on the station said, “I never thought I would ever say this…..Pink Floyd will release a new album in October this year.”.
Best news of the summer!
