Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour announced today his new album, “Rattle That Lock,” will be released in four formats on Sept. 18, and he’ll perform a handful of concerts in North America this spring.
“Rattle That Lock’” is Gilmour’s fourth solo album following 2006’s “On An Island.” It’ll be available for pre-order tomorrow, July 17, at davidgilmour.com.
Produced by Gilmour and Roxy Music’s Phil Manzanera, primary lyricist on the project is Gilmour’s wife and writing partner Polly Samson. Cover art for the album was art directed by Dave Stansbie from The Creative Corp. under the creative directorship of Aubrey “Po” Powell from Hipgnosis.
The album’s songlist is:
The album will be available in four formats:
The title track “Rattle That Lock” will be heard for the first time on BBC Radio’s “Breakfast Show” with Chris Evans tomorrow morning, July 17, at 8:50 (previously reported in error as July 16) and will be available immediately afterward to download and stream worldwide.
The song begins with four notes created by Michaël Boumendil, which precede announcements at French SNCF railway stations that Gilmour recorded on his iPhone at Aix-en-Prevence station.
Samson’s lyrics are inspired by Book II of John Milton’s “Paradise Lost,” which is also featured in her recent novel, “The Kindness.” The single features the Liberty Choir and singers Mica Paris and Louise Marshall.
Gilmour’s first North American concert dates since his “On an Island” tour in 2006 will take place in March and April 2016, following his previously-announced UK and European dates this fall.
Tickets go on sale tomorrow Friday July 17 at 10 a.m. ET. Every ticket purchased online includes a copy of “Rattle That Lock.”
Dates announced:
Tickets can be purchased via Ticketmaster.com, at all Ticketmaster outlets, or by phone.
