The Endless River is the fifteenth and final studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd.
It was released on 7 November 2014 in Friday-release countries and on 10 November elsewhere by Parlophone Records in the United Kingdom and by Columbia Records in the United States.
It was the third Pink Floyd album led by guitarist and singer David Gilmour following Roger Waters’ departure in 1985 and the first following the death of keyboardist Rick Wright in 2008, who appears posthumously.
The Endless River consists almost entirely of instrumental and ambient music based on material Pink Floyd wrote, recorded and produced with Wright during sessions for their previous album The Division Bell (1994).
New material was recorded in 2013 and 2014 aboard Gilmour’s Astoria boat studio and in Medina Studios in Hove, England.
It was produced by Gilmour, Youth, Andy Jackson and Phil Manzanera.
The cover art concept is by Ahmed Emad Eldin, with final artwork by Stylorouge and creative direction by Aubrey Powell.
The Endless River was promoted with the single ˝Louder than Words˝ and artwork installations in cities including London, New York, Paris, Berlin, and Milan.
It became the most pre-ordered album of all time on Amazon UK, and debuted at number one in several countries.
The vinyl edition was the fastest-selling UK vinyl release since 1997.
The album received mixed reviews.
