The man, the myth, the maverick. Probably (definitely!) the funniest man in rock and as vain as Liam Gallagher. I chat about Noel Gallagher's new album, from Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, titled Chasing Yesterday, perhaps a nostalgic lust for the past, within a few days of release it has seemed to ruffle feathers amongst critics as they didn't expect anything particularly outlandish, but don't let me ways of the Gallagher fool you, his album is the last thing he'll take the piss with. Even since the days of mid-90s Oasis Noel's role hasn't ever been so much as heartfelt and more so emotionally vacant, after 20 years we still see more metaphorical workings and less relative tales of heartbreak and adventure.

My personal favourite track of the album is The Girl With X-Ray Eyes, it's simple and playful, I can see re-worked power ballads and future covers by Warpaint on the horizon, it's a song full of vision down the whimsical path of dream, empowering yet soft. When you listen to the popular debut The Ballad Of Mighty I, try and keep in mind this titan in the music world is 47 years old and pumping it out like he's 20, effortless and he probably wrote half of it in his sleep.

What does the future hold for Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds? Promise? Their peak? I expect many more great things before they hit the rock'n'roll zimmerframes and hit the great gig in the sky.
