In the promotional lead-up to the release of Luck and Strange, David Gilmour made quite a big deal about bringing in Charlie Andrew (Alt-J, Wolf Alice) as a co-producer. Gilmour noted that the lack of deference that Andrew had for his storied career was exactly the sort of thing needed to free the proceedings from being beholden to legacy and to stay truer to the material itself. And yes, Andrew’s approach does appear to have loosened Gilmour up. Luck and Strange has the overall feel of a naturally inspired set of economical pop/rock tunes, harkening back to the casual perfectionism of Gilmour’s 1984 album About Face, except now the musical collaborators aren't Pete Townshend, Steve Winwood, and Jeff Porcaro, but instead are the guitar and singer/songwriter’s family (especially wife and co-lyricist Polly Samson, as well as his kids: Charlie, Romany, and Gabriel), along with Steve Gadd, Roger Eno, and others.

or fans of Nektar, Van Der Graaf Generator and Progressive Rock! Formed in Germany in 1969, Nektar favoured extended compositions and concept albums over the constraints of pop. They were among the progenitors of the progressive rock movement of the 1970s as well as the jam-band scene that arose in the late 1990s. Their sound travelled well to the States, where they enjoyed Top 40 success with “A Tab in the Ocean” (1972) and “Remember the Future” (1973). Nearly 20 albums and a half-century later, the band’s artistic and personal charisma has earned them masses of devoted fans. As they began the next 50 years of their career, they kicked it off earlier this year with “Journey to the Other Side – Live at The Dunellen Theatre June 10, 2023”.

Never coming home - the idea of not being able to return to the way something was — has grabbed hold of our collective consciousness and refused to let go. Perhaps the world is falling apart. Perhaps we’re just getting older. Whatever the case, the transient nature of life brings about its share of existential crises and nostalgia remains a difficult emotion to shake. It seems only fitting for a band that recently parted ways with two of its members to center our first album as a quartet around themes of anxiety and depression amidst tumultuous change. Influenced by Phoebe Bridgers, Prince, and In Rainbows-era Radiohead, Twenty Pills Without Water is an album full of ghosts and coping mechanisms.

Hold on to your mind! Led by Belfast-born phenom David Lewis, Andwella made three LPs circa 1970 for London’s Reflection label, redolent with Cream-y rock workouts, soaring post-Sgt. Pepper psych experimentation, and earthbound laments The Band might’ve dreamt up at Big Pink.
