David Gilmour releases new single "Rattle That Lock"

“Rattle That Lock” is the first single from David Gilmour’s fourth solo album which follows his 2006 No 1 “On An Island”.. The song begins with the four notes, created by Michael Boumendil, which precede announcements at French SNCF railway stations which Gilmour recorded on his iphone at Aix station. Samson’s lyrics are inspired by Book 2 of John Milton’s Paradise Lost, which is also featured in her recent acclaimed novel, The Kindness. The single also features the Liberty Choir and singers Mica Paris and Louise Marshall.

The album “Rattle That Lock” will be released on 18 September. The album’s primary lyricist is Gilmour’s long-term writing partner, Polly Samson, and is co-produced by David Gilmour and Roxy Music’s Phil Manzanera.
