David Gilmour gets to be a proud poppa with his new single featuring his daughter, Romany Gilmour.
“Between Two Points” is the latest from the album, Luck and Strange, which is to drop September 6th. Luck and Strange will have a deluxe edition that will include bonus tracks, a hardback book by Thames & Hudson featuring photographs taken by Polly Samson.
The song feels unique in the Gilmour catalogue, sounding a bit Trip-Hop at it's core, which fits perfectly with Gilmour's own melancholy way of writing.
David Gilmour released the video for the single "The Piper's Call," months ago, as the video shows Gilmour recording the album, which took place over five months in Brighton and London, and was produced by David and Charlie Andrew, who worked with ALT-J and Marika Hackman.
“We invited Charlie to the house, so he came and listened to some demos, and said things like, “Well, why does there have to be a guitar solo there?” and “Do they all fade out? Can’t some of them just end?”. He has a wonderful lack of knowledge or respect for this past of mine. He’s very direct and not in any way overawed, and I love that. That is just so good for me because the last thing you want is people just deferring to you.” David said.
The album features eight new songs with Guy Pratt & Tom Herbert on bass, Adam Betts, Steve Gadd and Steve DiStanislao on drums, Rob Gentry & Roger Eno on keyboards with string and choral arrangements by Will Gardner. There's even a special feature on the title song by Pink Floyd keyboard player Richard Wright, which was recorded in 2007 at a jam at David’s house.
