David Gilmour has announced the release of his first new album in nine years. Entitled Lucky and strange, will be released on September 6 via Sony Music. The album's first song, “The Piper's Call,” will be released on Thursday, April 25.
The former Pink Floyd member recorded the nine-track LP over five months in Brighton and London with producer Charlie Andrew and a group of collaborating musicians including Guy Pratt and Tom Herbert on bass; Adam Betts, Steve Gadd and Steve DiStanislao on drums; Rob Gentry and Roger Eno on keyboards; and choral and string arrangements by Will Gardner. The album's title track also features the late Pink Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright, recorded in 2007 during a jam in a barn at Gilmour's home. Gilmour's wife, Polly Sampson, composed most of the album's lyrics.
In addition to eight new songs, the tracklist also includes a cover of “Between the Points” by British indie pop group The Montgolfier Brothers.
