David Gilmour's new album, Luck and Strange, is his first project in nine years. It will be released on September 6 in numerous formats: various vinyl editions, CD, Blu-ray, and digital formats. All editions are now available for pre-order. The first preview track, 'The Piper's Call,' will be released tomorrow, April 25.

The album 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 includes eight new songs and a beautiful cover of "Between Two Points" by The Montgolfier Brothers.

Among the musicians collaborating on the album are Guy Pratt and Tom Herbert on bass, Adam Betts, Steve Gadd, and Steve DiStanislao on drums, Rob Gentry and Roger Eno on keyboards, and string and choral arrangements by Will Gardner. The title track also features the late Pink Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright, recorded in 2007 during a 'Barn Jam' at David's home. The album cover image was photographed and designed by renowned artist Anton Corbijn.
