Noel Gallagher has confirmed that his brand new album “Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds” – the first of TWO albums which have recently been completed – will be released through his own label, Sour Mash Records, on October 17, 2011 (this date will vary slightly internationally).
The album, his debut as a solo artist, was recorded in London and completed in Los Angeles during 2010 and the first half of 2011. It was co-produced by Noel and David Sardy, with whom Noel has worked previously. It features ten brand new tracks.
Guests on the album include Crouch End Festival Chorus and The Wired Strings (full list below).
The choice of a single will be decided shortly.
A second album, a companion to the above but as yet untitled, was recorded in the UK this year and is now complete. This album is the result of Noel’s continued collaboration with the Amorphous Androgynous, and will be released in 2012.
Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds will tour this autumn, subsequent to the release of their eponymous album.
