Former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters will release his first rock album in a quarter of a century in June.
Columbia Records said the album was a "forthright commentary on the modern world and on uncertain times" and a "natural successor" to Pink Floyd's "Animals" and "The Wall" albums.
The English-born star is about to embark on a North American tour called "Us + Them" at the end of May before taking in Asia and Europe next year.
