David Gilmour Luck And Strange Tour Rehearsel (live)

          Luck and Strange with David and the band performing tracks from the album (and maybe an old favourite…) live at tour rehearsals.

‘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.”

Luck and Strange is the fifth studio album by the English guitarist and songwriter David Gilmour, released 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, lyrics and instrumentation. "Luck and Strange" 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.
