Pay your respects to one of the most legendary rock bands of all time with the new Habitat x Pink Floyd decks featuring artwork from their most iconic albums.

Coming in hot with an absolutely legendary collab, Habitat have joined forces with one of the most influential rock bands of all time, Pink Floyd, for a one-off collection of decks inspired by some of their most beloved albums. The new Habitat x Pink Floyd collection is a must-have for any music fans with its range of graphics based on some of the Floyd's most iconic album covers, including 'The Dark Side of the Moon', 'Wish You Were Here' and 'Animals'. These bad boys are certified wall-hangers!

HABITAT X PINK FLOYD DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

First up, the new Habitat x Pink Floyd collab of course features a deck based around what's probably Pink Floyd's most iconic and successful album: 'The Dark Side of the Moon'. 


First released over 50 years ago in 1973, 'The Dark Side of the Moon' was Pink Floyd's eighth studio album and it quickly became one of the most critically acclaimed records with people today still regularly citing it as one of the greatest albums of all time.


The new Habitat x Pink Floyd 'Dark Side of the Moon' Deck recreates the album's infamous artwork - depicting light refracting through a prism, which most people will probably recognise from GCSE Science - with a stylish black woodstain.


We all know at least one person who has a 'Dark Side of the Moon' poster in their bedroom so it's safe to say this one's a wall-hanger!

HABITAT X PINK FLOYD WISH YOU WERE HERE

Featuring yet another straight-up legendary album cover, we've also got the Habitat x Pink Floyd 'Wish You Were Here' Deck which puts a colourful twist on this iconic artwork with a mixture of woodstains.


The follow-up to 'Dark Side of the Moon', 'Wish You Were Here' was Pink Floyd's ninth studio album, first released in 1975, at first suffering in the shadow of its predecessor before later also being recognised as one of the greatest albums of all time.


The Habitat x Pink Floyd 'Wish You Were Here' Deck again recreates the album's legendary artwork, featuring striking photography from Aubrey Powell, while adding in a more colourful background to spice things up a bit.

HABITAT X PINK FLOYD ANIMALS

Following on from 'Wish You Were Here', the Habitat x Pink Floyd collection also features a nod to Pink Floyd's tenth studio album, 'Animals' with a bangin' egg-shaped deck.


Released two years after 'Wish You Were Here' in 1977, 'Animals' moved away slightly from their previous albums by focusing on the sociopolitical conditions of the time, loosely inspired by George Orwell's 'Animal Farm', and is now considered one of the band's best works.


The Habitat x Pink Floyd 'Animals' Deck comes in an old-school egg shape and features the album's distinctive artwork, with an inflatable pig floating over Battersea power station, alongside a lovely split-colour woodstain.

HABITAT X PINK FLOYD PULSE

Last but not least, the final deck in the Habitat x Pink Floyd collection mixes things up a bit, taking inspiration from their third live album, 'Pulse'.


Released in 1995, 'Pulse' was recorded during the European leg of the band's Division Bell Tour from 1994 and features a performance of 'The Dark Side of the Moon' in its entirety alongside some of their other classics.


The Habitat x Pink Floyd 'Pulse' Deck features both variants of the 'Pulse' album cover including the original CD artwork and the alternate DVD artwork, both of which incorporate trippy eye-based designs.
