Noel Gallagher is back — but not as you know him! Gallagher returns the guise of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds with self-produced record 'Chasing Yesterday!'

The new album - which contains first single "In The Heat Of The Moment" - follows the success of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, which was a shock to nobody more than Noel Gallagher, and which set his life off on an unexpected, post-Oasis direction. "I wasn't ready for the positive reaction from the album and the solo gigs," he says. "At first I thought I'd just about tolerate being a centre-stage singer every night but I really enjoyed it, probably because neither I nor the audience had any expectations and just went with it. I was amazed that it got to an arena level so quick."

Just as Gallagher could only have written late 20th century hymns like "Rock 'n' Roll Star" and "Live Forever" as a young man on the cusp of a great adventure, so he could only have written 'Chasing Yesterday' now. There are anthems of the kind Gallagher does so well, but moments of quiet reflection too. The album is musically far-reaching and lyrically questioning without ever taking itself too seriously. It's a rock'n'roll classic that's big enough to handle a bit of space jazz.
