Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

brit-pop superstar’s solo project strikes a balance between oasis’ epic pop/rock & the kinks’ lush psychedelia.

a heartfelt & lushly orchestrated collection of songs, which feel like they have been stored up by noel through the final years of his previous band & evolved for the fresh sound of the high flying birds. the laid back drawl to the vocals & powerful, anthemic choruses will keep the devout oasis fan happy while developing noel’s musical vision & introducing enough fresh elements to be entirely credible as their own distinct entity. “finally freed of the burden of his old band, their hot streak & their lead singer, he can concentrate on making
records for other people to enjoy” – bbc music.
