“This is the best album I’ve made since The Dark Side of the Moon”: David Gilmour says his first solo record in 9 years is good enough to rival his best Pink Floyd work – and one of the best guitar albums ever

English singer David Gilmour performs in concert at Circo Massimo on july 02, 2016 in Rome, Italy.

Later this year, David Gilmour will release Luck and Strange – his first solo album in nine years, which is positioned to be an especially notable release from the Pink Floyd legend.

Not only will it be his first offering of new material in almost a decade, it was constructed with the help of a new-look backroom staff, helmed by Alt-J producer Charlie Andrew, who helped Gilmour expand his musical horizons.
