The album, Rattle That Lock, will be released on September 18 with the new song of the same name serving as the lead single. It follows On An Island which was released in 2006.
The album will be a nine track LP and was recorded by Gilmour with a wealth of amazing talent. Appearances from Jools Holland, Gilmour's wife, Polly Sampson and Roxy Music's Phil Manzanera. Rattle That Lock was recorded mostly in Gilmour's studio in Brighton with certain elements recorded on his houseboat, 'Astoria'.
The new single is a relatively low key affair with softly trebled guitar and a sample from French train station announcements. Gilmour’s raspy tones retain their legendary status and the choral-lead refrain is absolutely stunning.
