Not even a year after the release of the final Pink Floyd album The Endless River, guitarist David Gilmour is already working on a new solo album (his first since his 2006 release On an Island) and has even announced the title of it: Rattle That Lock.
The announcement was made at the Borris House Festival Of Writing And Ideas in Ireland during this past weekend when fans kept asking both Gilmour and his wife Polly Samson about it.
So far two potential song titles have been announced for the album: Just Do It and Girl With a Yellow Dress. The album is said to feature contributions from Jools Holland and Phil Manzanera. Samson says according to BrainDamage that the theme of the album is “Carpe diem – seize every moment, look to the future, ‘Just Do It’ and don’t hold back.”
Gilmour also included that there will be no future reunions with former band mate Roger Waters, saying “Despite having nothing – well almost nothing – but fond memories of Roger’s working relationship, it ain’t going to happen.”
It's unfortunate there is no plan for Gilmour and Waters to work together, but you never know what will happen. The future isn't written in stone. In the mean time, I'm sure Rattle That Lock will cause quite the rattle, as Gilmour is one hell of a talented musician and his wife is quite the lyricist. Good to see that old age isn't holding back such a musical beast.
