David Gilmour spent five months working in Brighton and London on "Luck And Strange", the first new longplayer he has released in nine years. The LP was produced by David and Charlie Andrew, who is known for his collaboration with ALT-J and Marika Hackman. The majority of the lyrics were written by Gilmour's co-writer Polly Samson, with whom he has worked for 30 years.
There are eight new tracks on the album, plus a cover version of "Between Two Points" (original performers: The Montgolfier Brothers), on which Romany Gilmour plays harp and sings. Gilmour's daughter was responsible for the backing vocals on other songs on the LP.
Musicians involved in the making of "Luck And Strange" include: Guy Pratt & Tom Herbert on bass, Adam Betts, Steve Gadd and Steve DiStanislao on drums and Rob Gentry & Roger Eno on keyboards. Will Gardner was responsible for the string and choir arrangements. The title track, which was recorded during a jam in David Gilmour's barn in 2007, even features the sadly deceased Pink Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright.
The cover photo by Anton Corbijn was inspired by the lyrics of "Scattered", the last song on the Album.
