\"Luck<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sony Music will release “Luck and Strange,” a new studio album from David Gilmour<\/strong>, on Sept. 6.<\/p>\n

Recorded over five months in Brighton and London, it’ll be Gilmour’s first album of new materials since 2015’s “Rattle That Lock.”<\/p>\n

Produced by Gilmour and Charlie Andrew<\/strong> (alt-J<\/strong>, Marika Hackman<\/strong>), the album contains eight new tracks, as well as a cover of “Between Two Points” featuring Romany Gilmour<\/strong>, who is the daughter of Gilmour and Polly Samson<\/strong>. The original recording was released in 1999 by indie pop duo The Montgolfier Brothers<\/strong> on their “Seventeen Stars” album.<\/p>\n

Musicians contributing to “Luck and Strange” include Guy Pratt<\/strong> and Tom Herbert<\/strong> on bass; Adam Betts<\/strong>, Steve Gadd<\/strong>, and Steve DiStanislao<\/strong> on drums; Rob Gentry<\/strong> and Roger Eno<\/strong> on keyboards; with string and choral arrangements by Will Gardner<\/strong>. Most of the album’s lyrics are by Samson.<\/p>\n

The title track also features late Pink Floyd<\/strong> keyboardist Richard Wright<\/strong>, recorded in 2007 at a jam that took place in a barn at Gilmour’s home.<\/p>\n

Some recordings were taken from live streams Gilmour and his family performed during the lockdowns of 2020 and ’21.<\/p>\n

“Polly and I have been writing together for over 30 years,” Gilmour says, “and the Von Trapped live streams showed the great blend of Romany\u2019s voice and harp-playing and that led us into a feeling of discarding some of the past that I\u2019d felt bound to and that I could throw those rules out and do whatever I felt like doing, and that has been such a joy.”<\/p>\n

The album\u2019s cover image, photographed and designed by Anton Corbijn<\/strong>, is inspired by a lyric written by Gilmour’s son, Charlie Gilmour<\/strong>, for the album\u2019s final track, “Scattered.”<\/p>\n
