“IN ANY TONGUE”
In advance of David Gilmore’s North American tour dates, a video has been completed for the full track of the new song “IN ANY TONGUE”, one of the stand-out tracks from Rattle That Lock and the live show. Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell, David’s Creative Director, was looking for a talented animator to work on a video for The Girl In The Yellow Dress, and discovered in America a young film maker named Danny Madden, whose short film Confusion Through Sand had won recognition at the 2014 SXSW Film Festival. Po was so taken with the work that he showed it to David and lyricist Polly Samson, who immediately employed Danny to make the Yellow Dress film. However, David and Polly had also written In Any Tongue about the futility of war, and by chance some of the illustrations in Danny’s film fitted the mood exactly. Danny gave his permission to use an edited part of Confusion Through Sand to fit In Any Tongue, and the die was cast.
Danny’s animation has been laid on to the complete album track (see video above), while an edit has also been done for radio play,
Rattle That Lock is David Gilmour’s fourth solo album and follows his 2006 On An Island. The primary lyricist for the new album is Gilmour’s long-term writing partner, novelist Polly Samson, and it is co-produced by David Gilmour and Roxy Music’s Phil Manzanera. Rattle That Lock’s striking cover has been art directed by Dave Stansbie from The Creative Corporation, under the creative directorship of Aubrey Powell from Hipgnosis.
