Luck and Strange is the fifth studio album by the English guitarist and songwriter David Gilmour, released on 6 September 2024 by Sony Music. It was produced by Gilmour and Charlie Andrew. Gilmour said Andrew challenged him musically and was not intimidated by his past work with Pink Floyd.
Gilmour’s wife, novelist Polly Samson, wrote most of the lyrics, which she said addressed mortality and aging. Their children contributed additional vocals, lyrics and instrumentation. The song “Luck and Strange” features keyboards recorded in 2007 by the Pink Floyd keyboardist, Richard Wright, who died in 2008. The album also features a cover of the 1999 song “Between Two Points,” originally by the British band the Montgolfier Brothers.
Luck and Strange became Gilmour’s third number-one album on the UK Albums Chart. “The Piper’s Call,” “Between Two Points,” “Dark and Velvet Nights” and “Luck and Strange” were released as singles. Gilmour toured in support of the album in late 2024.
