Acclaimed rock band Pink Floyd has announced their first studio album in 20 years, which is set to be released this November. Titled The Endless River, the album is a tribute to Rick Wright, the band’s keyboardist who died in 2008, says the band’s website.LONDON:
The album, which is an instrumental offering with just one song, comprises music that Wright, guitarist David Gilmour and drummer Nick Mason put together in 1993, leading to the 1994 release of their studio album The Division Bell.
“Wright’s keyboards are at the heart of the Pink Floyd sound,” the band said. Epitomised by 1970-releases such as Wish You Were Here and The Wall, the band’s style was cutting-edge for its era, mixing soft and heavy rock with philosophical lyrics and pioneering electronic sounds.
