David Gilmour, the British rock guitarist best known for his work in Pink Floyd, has released Luck and Strange, his first new solo album since 2015’s Rattle That Lock.
The slow rollout of the new LP began with the album’s announcement back in April. In the time since, Gilmour has taken various novel measure to market the album including hiding lyrics to various tracks in local newspapers around the U.K. While attempting to channel attention toward a new release is par for the course, Gilmour has been particularly vocal about his affinity for the new work, notably referring to the Luck and Strange as “the best album I’ve made since [Pink Floyd’s iconic] Dark Side of the Moon in 1973.”
