When David Gilmour released his first album of new material in nine years Luck And Strange, back in 2024, Prog spoke to him and wife Polly Samson about its creation, working outside their comfort zone, and why we might not have to wait quite so long for a follow-up!

“It’s over 50 years now since The Dark Side Of The Moon,” says David Gilmour firmly. “My feeling is that this album is the best album I’ve made in all those years since 1973 when The Dark Side Of The Moon came out.”
