Published by

His latest with the High Flying Birds is a dazzling mess spackled together from the influences he’s been tapping since Oasis’ golden age ”“ post-Stone Roses rave rock (“Fort Knox”), glam stomp (“Holy Mountain”), Smiths-Beatles shimmer (“Black & White Sunshine”). It wouldn’t be Noel without a little grumpy snark (the bitter space-soul of “Careful What You Wish For”). But mixed with the musical highs, that’s part of his charm.
