22 September 2014: Details about The Endless River, the new Pink Floyd album from David Gilmour, Rick Wright and Nick Mason, were revealed today as the album artwork appeared on buildings in ten international cities, including an eight metre lit installation on London\u2019s South Bank. The album will be released on Parlophone on 10 November and is produced by David Gilmour, Phil Manzanera, Youth and Andy Jackson.<\/p>\n

David Gilmour said:
\n\u201cThe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nick Mason said:
\n\u201cThe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Endless River is mainly an instrumental album across \u2018four sides\u2019 with one song, \u2018Louder Than Words\u2019 with new lyrics by Polly Samson.<\/p>\n

The concept for the powerful imagery of a man rowing on a \u2018river\u2019 of clouds was created by AhmedEmad Eldin, an 18-year-old Egyptian digital artist. Ahmed\u2019s image was then re-created by Stylorouge, award-winning UK design agency. In London, The Endless River artwork is displayed on an eightmetre high, illuminated cube installation on the South Bank.<\/p>\n

Pink Floyd\u2019s album artwork, mostly created by Storm Thorgerson of Hipgnosis, is as legendary as the band\u2019s music. With Storm\u2019s passing in 2013, the task of finding an image that carried on Storm\u2019s legacy passed to Aubrey \u2018Po\u2019 Powell, Storm\u2019s original partner in Hipgnosis. Po said:<\/p>\n

\u2018When we saw Ahmed\u2019s image it had an instant Floydian resonance. It\u2019s enigmatic and open to interpretation, and is the cover that works so well for The Endless River.\u201d<\/p>\n
