Last week, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds shared Dead To The World as the latest track from their forthcoming album.
Calling the single “by some distance my favourite tune on the album,” the hitmaker added: “It has this film noir vibe.
“It’s not like anything else I’ve ever done before. It’s very melancholic, but I like that. I’m a Gemini – I’m as up as I am down, and the trick is to meet somewhere in the middle and turn that into music.”
It follows previous singles Easy Now and the Johnny Marr collaboration Pretty Boy, with Noel saying of the record:
“It’s going back to the beginning. Daydreaming, looking up at the sky and wondering about what life could be… that’s as true to me now as it was in the early nineties. When I was growing up in poverty and unemployment, music took me out of that.
“’Top of the Pops’ on TV transformed your Thursday night into this fantasy world, and that’s what I think music should be. I want my music to be elevating and transforming in some way.”
Crafted at Noel’s own Lone Star Sound Recording Studios in London with strings recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios, the album is produced by the musician with long-time collaborator Paul ‘Strangeboy’ Stacey.
‘Council Skies’ is out June 2 via Sour Mash and available to pre-order now.
