Album Details
Council Skies is the upcoming fourth studio album by English rock band Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. Produced by Gallagher and longtime engineer Paul Stacey, it is set to be released on 2 June 2023, through Gallagher's label Sour Mash Records. It will be the first album Gallagher has recorded in his own recording studio: Lone Star Studios with string sessions taking place at Abbey Road Studios in April 2022. Four singles have been released from the album so far: "Pretty Boy", "Easy Now", "Dead to the World" and the title track "Council Skies".
Gallagher began demoing the album in late 2021 with sessions commencing at Lone Star Studios in January 2022. Johnny Marr features on three tracks on the album, including lead single: "Pretty Boy".
Gallagher has described the album as "going back to the beginning. Daydreaming, looking up at the sky and wondering about what life could be…". When discussing the album title, Gallagher said "The title comes from a book by the artist Pete McKee. I was writing the song which was to become Council Skies, but it wasn't called Council Skies. There's a bit in the song when I was writing it, where a phrase was missing - I didn't know what that phrase was gonna be." He went on to say: "Pete's book happened to be on my coffee table at home. So I called him up and said, Can I use this title? And he said yeah. And I rewrote the song and then subsequently a lot of other things started to fall into place.".
