New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds release a brand new single - 'Black Star Dancing', available digitally now. The single, which is produced by Noel, is taken from the EP of the same name - available digitally and on 12" vinyl to pre-order now - released on 14th June, the same date that
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds headline Isle of Wight Festival.
Noel says of the single: "It manages to combine the influences of
David Bowie, INXS, U2, Queen, Indeep AND
ZZ Top FFS!...I might have been watching too much Top Of The Pops recently...anyway, it's 'dope', not my words, but the words of Nile Rodgers who literally danced in the studio when he heard it!"
Featuring new kaleidoscopic artwork by Gareth Halliday, the EP also includes two new tracks 'Rattling Rose' and 'Sail On', a 12" mix of 'Black Star Dancing' plus a remix by London-based French DJ/producer Nicolas Laugier, aka The Reflex.
