Columbia Records has put the official seal of approval on new Pink Floyd album ‘The Endless River‘, which will be released in October.

Thanks to Dave Gilmour‘s wife Polly Samson and the band’s one-time live backing singer Durga McBroom-Hudson, we already know that the LP is to be made up of primarily instrumental tracks worked on around the time of 1994’s ‘The Division Bell‘ – meaning contributions from the late Richard Wright, and the absence of Roger Waters, endure.

“Pink Floyd can confirm that they are releasing a new album ‘The Endless River’ in October 2014,” the official statement confirms. “It is an album of mainly ambient and instrumental music based on the 1993/4 Division Bell sessions which feature David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright.

“The album is produced by David Gilmour with Phil Manzanera, Youth and recording engineer Andy Jackson. Work is still in progress, but more details to come at the end of the summer.”

The new collection coincides with an expanded, 6CD version of ‘The Division Bell‘ to mark its 20th anniversary, though this spike in activity is not expected to result in any live outings for Gilmour and drummer Nick Mason.
