David Gilmour's 'Luck and Strange', released 6th September 2024.

The video for ‘Between Two Points’ was shot on location in London and Manchester, with David on
guitars and featuring Romany Gilmour on vocals and harp. Gavin Elder who directed the clip said:
“Romany performs this song with an extraordinary level of fragility, vulnerability and understated
control. There’s a subtle, yet deep emotional rapport between David and Romany, captured with hand held cameras, enhancing the tension within the video.”

Directed by Gavin Elder

ABOUT LUCK AND STRANGE

‘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. Of this new working relationship, David says, “We invited Charlie to the house, so he came and listened to some demos, and said things like, “Well, why does there have to be a guitar solo there?” and “Do they all fade out? Can’t some of them just end?”. He has a wonderful lack of knowledge or respect for this past of mine. He’s very direct and not in any way overawed, and I love that. That is just so good for me because the last thing you want is people just deferring to you.”

The majority of the album’s lyrics have been composed by Polly Samson, Gilmour’s co-writer and collaborator for the past thirty years. Samson says of the lyrical themes covered on ‘Luck and Strange’, “It’s written from the point of view of being older; mortality is the constant.” Gilmour elaborates, “We spent a load of time during and after lockdown talking about and thinking about those kind of things.” Polly has also found the experience of working with Charlie Andrew liberating, “He wants to know what the songs are about, he wants everyone who’s playing on them to have the ideas that are in the lyric informing their playing. I have particularly loved it for that reason.”

The album features eight new tracks along with a beautiful reworking of The Montgolfier Brothers’ ‘Between Two Points’ and has artwork and photography by the renowned artist Anton Corbijn.

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 with string and choral arrangements by Will Gardner. The title track also features the late Pink Floyd keyboard player Richard Wright, recorded in 2007 at a jam in a barn at David’s house.

Some contributions emerged from the live streams that Gilmour and family performed to a global audience during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021; Romany Gilmour sings, plays the harp and appears on lead vocals on ‘Between Two Points’. Gabriel Gilmour also sings backing vocals.

The album’s cover image, photographed and designed by Anton Corbijn, is inspired by a lyric written by Charlie Gilmour for the album’s final song ‘Scattered’. Of working with his family on ‘Luck and Strange’, David says, “Polly and I have been writing together for over thirty years and the Von Trapped live streams showed the great blend of Romany’s voice and harp-playing and that led us into a feeling of discarding some of the past that I’d 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.”

Luck and Strange is the upcoming fifth studio album by the English guitarist and songwriter David Gilmour, set for release on 6 September 2024 by Sony Music. It was produced by Gilmour and Charlie Andrew. Gilmour said Andrew challenged him musically and was not intimidated by his past work with Pink Floyd.

Gilmour's wife, the novelist Polly Samson, wrote many of the lyrics, which she said addressed mortality and ageing. Their children contributed additional vocals and lyrics. The album also features keyboards recorded in 2007 by the Pink Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright, who died in 2008.

"The Piper's Call", "Between Two Points" and "Dark and Velvet Nights" were released as singles. Gilmour is due to begin a tour in September.

[Verse 1: Romany Gilmour]
Broke an early promise
Put trust in an unknown
Fell headlong into the arms
Of the first that stirred me

Unsteadied a steady heart
And took me to a place I've never been
A place I've never been since...

Stopped hoping at an early age
Stopped guessing at an early age
Start accepting things from day one
And then things can't go too wrong

[Pre-Chorus: Romany Gilmour]
Just let them walk all over you
Laugh through the punches and the pain
Let the life-blood drain away from you
Thеy're right, you're wrong

[Chorus: Romany Gilmour]
And you can see it in the way thеy look at you
Feel it in the way they treat you
Always the last to know
Always the first to leave
See David Gilmour Live
Get tickets as low as $102

[Bridge: Romany Gilmour]
And when the sky begins to fall
The blame - all along in you - is yours
Wakes you with a fever at five
Your guardian angel gives up the ghost

[Chorus: Romany Gilmour]
And you can see it in the way they look at you
Feel it in the way they treat you
Always the last to know
Always the first to leave

[Outro: Romany Gilmour]
Just let them walk all over you
(They're right, you're wrong)
Laugh through the punches and the pain
(They're right, you're wrong)
Let the life-blood drain away from you
(They're right, you're wrong)
They're right, you're wrong
