David Gilmour's album, 'Luck and Strange', was recorded over five months in Brighton and London and is Gilmour's first album of new material in nine years. The record was produced by David and Charlie Andrew, best known for his work with ALT-J and Marika Hackman, and the lyrics were largely written by Polly Samson, Gilmour's co-writer for the past thirty years. The album features eight new songs, along with a beautiful reworking of The Montgolfier Brothers' 'Between Two Points', which features Romany Gilmour on backing vocals throughout the album, as well as harp.

Contributing musicians to the record include Guy Pratt & Tom Herbert on bass, Adam Betts, Steve Gadd and Steve DiStanislao on drums, Rob Gentry & Roger Eno on keyboards, and string and choir 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's cover art, photographed and designed by renowned artist Anton Corbijn, was inspired by the lyrics written by Charlie Gilmour for the album's closing track, 'Scattered'.
