Limited Edition Deluxe 2CD & Blu-Ray Audio Box Set!
2024 Album from David Gilmour!
5 Bonus Tracks + 72-Page Hardback Book of Exclusive Photographs!

Luck and Strange was recorded over five months in Brighton and London and is David 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 30 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 and Tom Herbert on bass, Adam Betts, Steve Gadd and Steve DiStanislao on drums, Rob Gentry and 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: 2 Compact Discs, 1 Blu-Ray disc, and a 72-page hardback book of exclusive photographs taken by Polly Samson during the recording of the album.

The overriding tone of Luck and Strange is ruminative, though not overly melancholic, with richly imagined songs that explore uncertain futures ('A Single Spark'), nostalgia ('Sings'), marriage ('Dark and Velvet Nights'), and a generation's halcyon days.... The arrangements...feel fresher and nimbler than on his previous set, balancing out some of the album's introspection. And the youthful presence of Romany's (as well as his son Gabriel's) vocals is a boon, lending to the largely collaborative feel. Still, it's undeniably a Gilmour album, woven through with the elegant, lyrical guitar playing and haunted vocals that are his signature.
-Timothy Monger, AllMusic.com, 4/5 stars
