‘Luck and Strange’, recorded over five months in Brighton and London, is Gilmour’s first album of new material in nine years. Produced by David Gilmour and Charlie Andrew, known for his work with alt-J and Marika Hackman, the album explores themes of aging and mortality, with lyrics primarily written by Polly Samson, Gilmour’s longtime co-writer and collaborator. “It’s written from the point of view of being older; mortality is the constant,” Samson explains. Gilmour adds, “We spent a lot of time during and after lockdown reflecting on these themes.”

The album features eight new tracks and a reworking of The Montgolfier Brothers’ “Between Two Points,” with artwork and photography by renowned artist Anton Corbijn. Contributing musicians include Guy Pratt and Tom Herbert on bass, Adam Betts, Steve Gadd, and Steve DiStanislao on drums, Rob Gentry and Roger Eno on keyboards, with string and choral arrangements by Will Gardner. The title track features a recording of the late Pink Floyd keyboard player Richard Wright from a 2007 jam session at Gilmour’s home. Additional contributions came from live streams Gilmour and his family performed during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021, including Romany Gilmour on harp and lead vocals for “Between Two Points” and Gabriel Gilmour on backing vocals.
