I've always been torn when it comes to the Gallaghers. Burnage brothers Noel and Liam seem to simultaneously impress and disappoint - and, with a the Britpop-inspired musical landscape at saturation point, I can't say I was very excited to give the High Flying Birds' new offering a listen.
The genre has felt stagnant for the good part of a decade. The pair don't seem to be doing anything daring with their music to help push the scene forward. Regardless, I decided to give the forth album by Noel's collective - Council Skies - a chance... see what all the fuss is about.
Would I be swayed by his latest project? Short answer - not entirely.
