The brand-new album by David Gilmour, Luck and Strange was recorded over five months in Brighton and London and is Gilmours 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, with lyrics mostly written by Polly Samson, Gilmours co-writer for the past thirty years.
The album features eight new tracks along with a beautiful reworking of The Montgolfier Brothers Between Two Points, which sees Romany Gilmour, who performs backing vocals across the album, on vocals and harp.
Musicians contributing to the record include Guy Pratt & Tom Herbert on bass, Adam Betts, Steve Gadd and Steve DiStanislao on drums, Rob Gentry & Roger Eno on keyboards and the string and choral arrangements are by Will Gardner. The title track also features the late Pink Floyd keyboard player Richard Wright, recorded in 2007 during a Barn Jam at Davids house.
The albums cover image, photographed and designed by renowned artist Anton Corbijn, is inspired by lyrics written by Charlie Gilmour for the albums final song Scattered.
Translucent bottle glass vinyl. Gatefold sleeve and booklet with photography and design by Anton Corbijn.

Couldn't wait to get this album and then listen to it. There was shift in PFs music between Syd and David elevating PF to higher levels this album proves why. Sometimes haunting, surreal, floating but always awesome.
