Belfast landing for Noel’s Birds

Special guests for both dates will be Black Rivers.

The first single from NoelGallagher’s High Flying Birds’ new album “Chasing Yesterday” will be released this weekend.

“In the Heat of the Moment” will be released on Sunday November 17 digitally and on limited edition seven inch vinyl with B side entitled “Do the Damage”.

“Chasing Yesterday” will be available on Sour Mash Records.

‘Chasing Yesterday’ marks a new chapter and sound for Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds. It’s the first album to be produced as well as written by Noel and features a much broader array of instrumentation than ever before; the result is a “rich, expansive and multi-layered record, drawing from a range of disparate influences - from west coast rock to classic rock’n’roll”.

‘In The Heat Of The Moment’ is a “hypnotic track inspired by a documentary in which an astronaut said that going into space for the first time feels like touching the face of God”.

“If that’s not an opening line for a song I don’t know what is,” said Noel.

The beautiful opening track ‘Riverman’ is an expansive song with several guitar and saxophone solo.

The record’s emotional closer, ‘Ballad Of The Mighty I’ sees Johnny Marr join Gallagher on guitar.

“The result is a burst of energy that helped make Mighty I one of the best songs I’ve ever written,” added Noel.
