“The music sprang out one day. It was so exciting to have come across this groove,” Gilmour recalled in a statement. “Polly had given me a beautiful poem for our wedding anniversary, which was sitting on the desk right next to me, so I picked it up and sang it on the track, to hear what it would sound like with words. I played it to Polly, and she said, ‘Lovely, great, I’ll need fiddle with it a bit.’ So she added a couple of verses, and there it was — very serendipitous.”

In a recent interview, Gilmour described Luck and Strange as the “best album I’ve made” since Pink Floyd’s 1973 classic, The Dark Side of the Moon . His first full-length in nearly a decade is out on September 6th and includes the previous singles “Between Two Points” and “The Piper’s Call.” The deluxe edition featuring bonus tracks and exclusive photographs is available to pre-order on vinyl and CD right now.

Gilmour will support the album with a limited run of the US, Europe, and the UK beginning in late September. Purchase your tickets here .
