David Gilmour has released a new single, “The Piper’s Call.” He debuted it on BBC Radio 2 and plans to release the video tomorrow (4-26).
The song is from Luck And Strange, his first solo album in nine years, which comes out sometime this fall. The Pink Floyd guitarist, recorded it over a five month period, in studios in Brighton and London.
Gilmour worked with Charlie Andrew to co-produce the album, someone who wasn’t as familiar with his stardom. About the experience, Gilmour said: : “He has a wonderful lack of knowledge or respect for this past of mine. He’s very direct and not in any way over-awed, and I love that. That is just so good for me because the last thing you want is people just deferring to you.”
