Pink Floyd’s legendary guitarist David Gilmour has unveiled the video for his brand new single, “Dark And Velvet Nights,” which is now available for fans to watch. This up-tempo track is a sneak peek into Gilmour’s much-anticipated album, Luck And Strange, set to release on September 6 through Sony Music. This marks Gilmour’s first album of new material in nine years.
“Dark And Velvet Nights” emerged from a moment of inspiration, as Gilmour explains: “The music sprang out one day. It was so exciting to have come across this groove. Polly had given me a beautiful poem for our wedding anniversary, which was sitting on the desk right next to me, so I picked it up and sang it on the track, to hear what it would sound like with words. I played it to Polly, and she said, ‘Lovely, great, I’ll need to fiddle with it a bit.’ So she added a couple of verses, and there it was—very serendipitous.”
