Noel Gallagher releases 'Pretty Boy' single

Noel Gallagher and his High Flying Birds return with the release today of 'Pretty Boy', the first taster from a new album which follows in the new year.

Recorded in his own London studio, Lone Star Sound, it features his old pal Johnny 'Fucking' Marr on guitar and continues his flirtation with the dancefloor.

“For this new record it was the first thing I wrote, the first thing I demoed and the first thing I finished, so it’s only right that it’s the first thing people get to hear," Noel tells us. "Massive shout out to my mainest man Johnny Marr for taking it somewhere special. Oh, and watch out for a cameo from me in the video... first one to spot me wins a bag of Flamin’ Hot Wotsits Giants!"

Noel and the High Flying Birds were spotted here during the summer when they played a blinder in St. Anne's Park, Dublin.
