Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds return with a new collection.
As the title suggests, Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011 - 2021) compiles material Gallagher has released over the last ten years with his band The High Flying Birds. Gallagher personally curated and compiled the release which contains tracks from NGHFB's three studio albums (Noel Gallagher And The High Flying Birds, Chasing Yesterday, Who Built The Moon?), three EPs (Black Star Dancing, This Is The Place, Blue Moon Rising), and two previously unreleased songs. One of the songs "We're On Our Way Now" was issued today along with news of the release.
Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011 - 2021) will be issued June 11th on a variety of formats; deluxe editions include material with previously unreleased acoustic, instrumental, and remixed tracks. Head here to view the pre-order options and check out the tracklisting for the deluxe CD edition below.
Read what The Chief himself had to say about the release:
"10 years of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds?? Blimey! ... Just think of all the things I COULD have done in that time!!
The title just came to me one afternoon, at the kitchen table. It's a saying isn't it: 'back the way we came'. I actually thought it was a great title. Which is why it's got Vol 1. Because if there's another one, I'm not coming up with another title!"
