Pink Floyd New Album Cover Art Revealed

Pink floyd has revealed the cover art for their new album The Endless River. Their first album to be released in twenty years will now have a 10th November 2014 release date which has been pushed back from October 2014. The album’s starting point was the unused recordings from The Division Bell album recorded in 1993. There are keyboards recorded by the late Richard Wright from the original sessions augmented by re ordings from more recent times. Roger Waters,  bassist and main songwriter for Pink floyd past, does not feature on the new album.

However, I am sure it will be very distinctly Pink Floyd and be enjoyed by many fans. Get the 10th November in your diary, it is an exciting day for Pink Floyd...
