Pink Floyd's David Gilmour has announced that he will release his first album of new material in nine years when he releases Luck And Strange through Sony Music on September 6.


The album features a surprise appearance from the late Pink Floyd keyboard player Richard Wright which was recorded in 2007 at a jam in a barn at David’s house. Tomorrow (Thuesday April 25), you will get the chance to hear the first new music from Luck And Strange when Gilmour releases his brand new single, The Piper's Call.

Luck And Strange also features contributions from both Romany and Gabriel Gilmour, Guy Pratt and Tom Herbert on bass, Adam Betts, Steve Gadd and Steve DiStanislao on drums, Rob Gentry and Roger Eno on keyboards with string and choral arrangements by Will Gardner.

Gilmour's wife, Polly Samson, has again contributed lyrics, and says "It’s written from the point of view of being older; mortality is the constant.”

“We spent a load of time during and after lockdown talking about and thinking about those kind of things," adds Gilmour.


From the first review-

After a second chorus Gilmour's guitar picks up with an epic, jagged and biting solo that will thrill long-time fans, and show that at 78 years old, he's lost none of his chops and remains in fine voice. Everything gets heavier, louder, more enigmatic... dare I say it, more Floydian, before, as Gilmour's guitars wail away in the most satisfying of manners, and the song reaches its abrupt climax.
