Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds have shared a new song ahead of a forthcoming album. It’s called “Pretty Boy” and it features Johnny Marr on guitar. Check it out below.
In a press release, Gallagher said, “For this new record it was the first thing I wrote, the first thing I demoed and the first thing I finished, so it’s only right that it’s the first thing people get to hear. Massive shout out to my mainest man Johnny Marr for taking it somewhere special. Oh… and watch out for a cameo from me in the video… first one to spot me wins a bag of Flamin’ Hot Wotsits Giants!!”
Gallagher and his band recorded the track at the musician’s own London studio, where he co-produced the single with Paul “Strangeboy” Stacey. The next LP from Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds is due out next year, although a release date and other details have not yet been announced.
The group’s previous LP, Who Built the Moon?, arrived in 2017. In 2019, they issued the Black Star Dancing EP. In 2021, Gallagher curated a greatest hits album compiling tracks from his output with High Flying Birds. The collection, titled Back the Way We Came: Vol. 1 (2011 – 2021), landed last summer.
