Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds have announced details of a new album which will be released later this year and pays homage to the singer's Mancunian roots.
The former Oasis guitarist and co-vocalist's forthcoming album, entitled 'Council Skies', will be released on June 2 via Sour Mash Records ahead of a summer series of shows including a homecoming at Wythenshawe Park in August. From the evocative album title to the cover art nodding to an iconic Manchester location, Noel's fourth solo studio album is being described as his most "varied and accomplished to date".
The new album's limited edition formats also feature remixes by The Cure's Robert Smith and Pet Shop Boys while the first single from the record, 'Easy Now', which has been released today, features vocals from Critics Choice Award-nominated Milly Alcock - who recently starred as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in the HBO smash hit series House of the Dragon.
