Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds Previews New EP With This Is the Place


Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds has released the first listen from the bands upcoming EP, This Is The Place, set to drop September 27th. The song, This Is the Place, is a rollicking, psych-inspired number with female backing vocals. The EP will also include two other new tracks, as well as two remixes, including one of This Is the Place by Dense & Pika.

This Is the Place follows the bands recent EP, Black Star Dancing, which dropped in June. That release marked Gallaghers first new music since 2017sWho Built The Moon?, which was inspired by David Bowie, INXS, U2, Queen, Indeep and ZZ Top. This Is the Place is the second of three EPs planned for 2019 and was produced by David Holmes. The title comes from Tony Walshs poem to Manchester, which read aloud in Albert Square after the Manchester Arena bombing.

The EP, which will be released digitally and on vinyl, including picture disc and colored vinyl versions, is currently available for pre-order. The band will tour in North America as the support act for The Smashing Pumpkins in August.
