David Gilmour has unveiled “The Piper’s Call,” the first track from his upcoming album, Luck and Strange.
“The Piper’s Call” is one of eight new songs composed by Gilmour for the album, with lyrics penned by his wife, Poly Samson. The album was produced by Charlie Andrew, and recorded with a group of contributing musicians that included Guy Pratt and Tom Herbert on bass; Adam Betts, Steve Gadd, and Steve Distanislao on drums; Rob Gentry and Roger Eno on keyboards; and string and choral arrangements by Will Gardner.
Samson said the the album was “written from the point of view of being older; mortality is the constant,” and the first track finds Gilmour singing about “the promise of eternal youth.” There’s also a lyric about “steer[ing] clear of the snakes,” as well as a pretty great guitar solo from the former Pink Floyd member. Take a listen below.

Bloc Party are returning with a new EP called The High Life EP, out on July 21st via Infectious/BMG.
Although the full four-song tracklist has yet to be revealed, Bloc Party did drop the title track back in April and followed up earlier this month with their first-ever collaboration, “Keep It Rolling” with KennyHoopla.
“When we were invited on the Paramore tour, we really wanted to get together and capture where the band was at and share that music,” said frontman Kele Okereke in a press release. “We got in the studio with our friend Charlie Andrew and this EP was the result — we’re very proud of these four tracks and they hopefully offer a little bridge between Alpha Games and what’s next for the band. To me, it’s the sound of coming out of the wilderness and re-embracing life.”

Singer Adele was the big winner at the 2016 Brit Awards on Wednesday night (February 24), picking up four awards.
The 27-year-old won the first award of the night, British Female Solo Artist, and also claimed British Single for her record-breaking comeback track Hello.
“I nearly fell over!” she squealed as she hit the stage at London's O2 Arena to pick up the latter trophy. "I was not expecting this one at all, thank you very much. It’s getting out of hand already. Absolutely blown my mind, thank you darlings."
Less than an hour later she was back onstage to collect the Global Success gong, and following a video montage of her career to date, and an introduction from British astronaut Tim Peake from the International Space Station, Adele couldn't hold back the tears.
"‘I don’t know whether I’m crying over that video or the fact Tim Peake presented it.
