Pink Floyd Say The Endless River Will Be Their Last Album, Share “Louder Than Words”

Pink Floyd will release The Endless River, their first album in 20 years, on November 10. Now, guitarist David Gilmour has said that The Endless River will be the band’s last. In an interview with BBC Music, Gilmour said, “Well, Rick [Wright] is gone. This is the last thing that’ll be out from us.” Pressed by the interviewer, he added, “Yes, I’m pretty certain there will not be any follow up to this.” (Keyboardist Wright passed away in 2008, and this album is a tribute to him.) 

The band also shared “Louder Than Words”, which is the only song on the album that features vocals. You can listen to a radio rip below, via Stereogum. 

Asked further about Wright, Gilmour said, “He has been underestimated by the public, by the media and by us at times I hate to say. I didn’t necessarily always give him his proper due. People have very different attitudes to the way they work and we can become very judgmental and think someone is not quite pulling his weight enough, without realising that theirs is a different weight to pull.”

Listen to the full interview below.

Wright co-founded Pink Floyd with Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, and Nick Mason. The Endless River is partially built from leftover recordings made for Pink Floyd’s previous album, 1994′s The Division Bell.
