David Gilmour’s new album, “Luck and Strange”, was recorded over five months in Brighton and London and is Gilmour’s first album of new material in nine years. The album was produced by David and Charlie Andrew, known for his work with ALT-J and Marika Hackman, with lyrics largely written by Polly Samson, Gilmour’s co-writer for the past three decades.
The album features eight new tracks and a beautiful reimagining of “Between Two Points” by the Montgolfier Brothers, with Romany Gilmour on vocals and harp, who performs as a backing vocalist throughout the album. Musicians contributing to the album include Guy Pratt and Tom Herbert on bass, Adam Betts, Steve Gadd, and Steve DiStanislao on drums, Rob Gentry and Roger Eno on keyboards, and string and choir arrangements by Will Gardner. The title track also features Pink Floyd’s keyboardist Richard Wright, recorded in 2007 during a “Barn Jam” at David’s home.
The album cover image, photographed and designed by the famous artist Anton Corbijn, is inspired by the lyrics written by Charlie Gilmour for the album’s final song, “Scattered”.
David Jon Gilmour (Cambridge, 6th March 1946) is a British singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and record producer. From 1968 to 1995, and again in 2014, he was the guitarist and singer of the historic English band Pink Floyd, where he became one of the most influential and famous rock guitarists.
