On an Island

On An Island is David Gilmour’s 3^rd solo album, and the first since the release of About Face more than 20 years before. Released on Gilmour’s 60th birthday, the album was produced by long-time collaborator Phil Manzanera, Chris Thomas, and Gilmour himself.

The album’s lyrics were written almost in their entirety by Gilmour’s wife, Polly Sampsons, who has also worked as a songwriter for Pink Floyd’s The Division Bell.
