Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds (also known as High Flying Birds) is the upcoming debut solo studio album by English rock band Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.[2] The album is due to be released on 17 October 2011, and will be the first new studio material released by Gallagher since he left the band Oasis in August 2009 (his first solo release, The Dreams We Have As Children, was a 2007 live recording released two years later exclusively on iTunes).
High Flying Birds was recorded between 2010 and 2011 in London and Los Angeles, produced by Gallagher and former Oasis producer Dave Sardy. Musicians to be featured on the record include former Oasis keyboardist Mike Rowe, The Lemon Trees drummer Jeremy Stacey and percussionist Lenny Castro, in addition to guest appearances from the Crouch End Festival Chorus and The Wired Strings.
The track listing includes “Stop the Clocks”, which is the unreleased Oasis track of that name. On 20 July 2011, “The Death of You and Me” was confirmed as the lead single, scheduled for release on 21 August 2011, with “The Good Rebel” appearing as a b-side.
tracklisting:
“Everybody’s on the Run”
“Dream On”
“If I Had a Gun…”
“The Death of You and Me”
“(I Wanna Live in a Dream in My) Record Machine”
“AKA… What a Life!”
“Soldier Boys and Jesus Freaks”
“AKA… Broken Arrow”
“(Stranded On) The Wrong Beach”
“Stop the Clock”
The album cover was taken in Los Angeles by photographer Lawrence Watson, who had just purchased a Polaroid camera. As Gallagher explained, “There’s an old petrol station in Beverley Hills beside the police station that’s got a triangular neon roof, and when you stand underneath it it looks like you’re stood underneath Concorde. So we go out one night and it’s all lit up in the neon, and we’re taking these pictures – it looks like I’m stood under the wings of a high flying bird.”
