Noel Gallagher has announced up his coming solo studio album with the High Flying Birds, as well as a huge UK and Ireland tour.
The upcoming album, Who Built The Moon, will be his third solo effort and has been described as his most experimental to date. The Oasis guitarist spent two years working on the album with David Holmes. Speaking about the album, Holmes said: “People are going to be surprised. I think people love Noel and they’re desperate for him to make a really big, bold, up-tempo beast of a record – a lot of Noel’s music is quite mid-tempo. This one is fun.”
The album, which features appearances from Paul Weller and Johnny Marr, will see more electronica and sampling with less focus on electric guitars. Check out the tracklist and trailer for the album below.
