The new single stems from Luck and Strange
“Between Two Points” by David Gilmour with daughter Romany Gilmour, is the stunning new single from David Gilmour’s forthcoming album, Luck and Strange, which is set for release on September 6th via Sony Music.
Details for the limited edition deluxe formats of the album have also been revealed, available on 2 CD/Blu-ray box set, 2 LP/Blu-ray box set, single CD, single LP, and Blu-ray Audio with Dolby Atmos and high-res stereo mixes and four bonus tracks. The project will include bonus tracks and a hardback book by Thames & Hudson featuring exclusive photographs by Polly Samson during the album’s recording. The deluxe editions will be limited to one run only.
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. The album features nine tracks, including a beautiful reworking of The Montgolfier Brothers’ 1999 song, “Between Two Points” which features 22-year-old Romany Gilmour on vocals and harp.
“I’ve had that song on my playlist since it was released,” Gilmour shares. “More recently I mentioned it to one or two people: I assumed that it had been a hit, but no one knew it. I asked Romany to give it a go.”
During the live streams that Gilmour and family, as the Von Trappeds, performed to a global audience during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021, Romany sang and played the harp, and David found that their voices mixed in a way that only a family member could. Around that time, David and Romany collaborated on the song “Yes, I Have Ghosts,” which appears on the CD and Blu-ray versions of Luck and Strange.
The video for “Between Two Points” was shot on location in London and Manchester, with David on guitars and featuring Romany on vocals and harp.
Gilmour will be performing live this fall in Rome, London, Los Angeles, and New York.
