Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour announced today his new album, “Rattle That Lock,” will be released in four formats on Sept. 18, and he’ll perform a handful of concerts in North America this spring.

“Rattle That Lock’” is Gilmour’s fourth solo album following 2006’s “On An Island.” It’ll be available for pre-order tomorrow, July 17, at davidgilmour.com.

Produced by Gilmour and Roxy Music’s Phil Manzanera, primary lyricist on the project is Gilmour’s wife and writing partner Polly Samson. Cover art for the album was art directed by Dave Stansbie from The Creative Corp. under the creative directorship of Aubrey “Po” Powell from Hipgnosis.

The album’s songlist is:

5 A.M (Gilmour)
Rattle That Lock (Gilmour/Samson/Boumendil)
Faces Of Stone (Gilmour)
A Boat Lies Waiting (Gilmour/Samson)
Dancing Right In Front Of Me (Gilmour)

The song begins with four notes created by Michaël Boumendil, which precede announcements at French SNCF railway stations that Gilmour recorded on his iPhone at Aix-en-Prevence station.
