Product Info

Manchester native Noel Gallagher needs little introduction. The principle songwriter/guitarist (and sometimes singer) for seminal Brit pop band Oasis is responsible for bringing us some of the biggest anthems of a generation including ‘Wonderwall’, ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’ and ‘What’s The Story Morning Glory’. Oasis has sold over 600k albums in Australia and have entertained tens of thousands of fans on multiple, often volatile tours down under.

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, his first album as a solo artist, was recorded in London and completed in Los Angeles during 2010 and the first half of 2011. It was co-produced by Noel and Dave Sardy (Oasis, Band of Horses, Red Hot Chili Peppers). It features ten brand new tracks including the singles ‘The Death Of You and Me’ and ‘AKA…What A life’.

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds is the first solo album for Noel Gallagher, former guitarist with the band Oasis. This album is his first material since Oasis split up in August 2009, was recorded in London and completed in Los Angeles. It features 10 new songs and was produced by Noel Gallagher and Dave Sardy.

Musicians appearing on the album include ex-Oasis keyboard player Mike Rowe, The Lemon Trees' Jeremy Stacey and American percussionist Lenny Castro, who is best known for playing on records by The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder and Elton John. The album also includes guest appearances from the Crouch End Festival Chorus (who Oasis and Noel Gallagher have performed with before), and The Wired Strings.

The album is a lot different in style from anything Oasis performed (a different direction in music was apparently what caused the split from Oasis, that and he couldn’t stand his brother Liam any longer). It is a genre I would describes as Alternative (although what constitutes alternative is a good question these days!)

The writing on this album seems to be a bit safe (and repetitive and boring). Noel Gallagher could have made a big statement but instead it is a bit more of a melodic whimper. “Everybody's on the Run”, sounds a bit more interesting than previous Oasis sounds: it is beautifully orchestrated and features the massed voices of the Crouch End Festival Chorus. AKA … What a Life! is a house music-inspired song that is built around a piano riff Gallagher has claimed is inspired by Rhythim Is Rhythim's Haçienda classic ‘Strings of Life’.

An album for the true Noel Gallagher fans!!
