The brand-new album by David Gilmour, 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, with lyrics mostly written by Polly Samson, Gilmour's 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 David's house.
The album's cover image, photographed and designed by renowned artist Anton Corbijn, is inspired by lyrics written by Charlie Gilmour for the album's final song "Scattered".
This limited-edition box set includes 2xLPs on 180g black vinyl, 1 Blu-ray disc, and a 68-page hardback book of exclusive photographs taken by Polly Samson during the recording of the album.

The album has become an instant favorite of mine. Musically and lyrically brilliant, along with the quality of the recordings, one is transported to what feels like an astral plane, where the sum of these parts create pure bliss... The layers of sound and voice are like individual characters in a story - and it all comes together in an exceptional and impactful "project." On top of that, the Deluxe 2-LP Box Set is one of the finest and well appointed packaging I've seen. Everything is so professionally done. You can tell there was a tremendous amount of thought in how this special project would be delivered/received. The photo book is absolutely magnificent, capturing the vibrations and artistry of what it was like to "be in the room" while recording the record. Obviously, I freaking love it!! Bravo!
