Pink Floyd legend, David Gilmour will release his new album, Luck And Strange, on September 6 via Sony Music. Watch a new “making of” video below:
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 record was produced by David and Charlie Andrew, best known for his work with ALT-J and Marika Hackman.
The album features nine tracks, including the beautiful reworking of The Montgolfier Brothers’ 1999 song, “Between Two Points” which features 22-year-old Romany Gilmour on vocals and harp, the lead-off track from the album, “The Piper’s Call” and the title track which features the late Pink Floyd keyboard player Richard Wright, recorded in 2007 at a jam in a barn at David’s house. The album features artwork and photography by the renowned artist Anton Corbijn.
