Photos published recently to Instagram by Polly Samson have sparked discussion her husband and writing partner David Gilmour might be working on a new album.
The photos are labeled as being shot at British Grove Studios in Chiswick, West London. That studio is owned by musician Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits).
Among those photographed along with Gilmour is producer Charlie Andrew, pianist Roger Eno (brother of Brian Eno), drummer Adam Betts, bassist Tom Herbert, long-time collaborator Guy Pratt, and Gilmour and Samson’s daughter Romany Gilmour.
Gilmour’s most-recent studio project was “Rattle That Lock,” released in 2015.

Roger Waters‘s 2023 re-recording of “Money” was named the 5th worst song of 2023 by Variety magazine.
“There’s something deeply perverse about doing a remake of one of the most-loved songs in the 1970s rock canon, cutting out the instrumental solos, and replacing David Gilmour’s contribution in the middle of the tune with a four-minute poem about… boxing,” Chris Willman writes. “If you’re looking for positive assessments of this bizarre re-do, it’s no surprise that they’re giving none away.”

Variety’s Top 3 worst songs from this past years are:

Radio personality Jim Ladd died Saturday at his home near Carmichael, CA. He was 75 and had suffered a heart attack.
The inspiration for Tom Petty‘s “The Last DJ,” Pink Floyd fans know Ladd for his appearance on Roger Waters‘s “Radio K.A.O.S.” album in 1987.
Ladd had been heard since 2011 on satellite radio Sirius XM, but his broadcasting roots went back to the heyday of FM radio with time logged at KMET and KLOS. He was also host of “Innerview,” a syndicated program that aired on more than 160 stations from 1974 to ’86.
