Rock band Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds have released a new single, “Dead To The World.” The song is to be featured on the bands upcoming fourth studio album, Council Skies, set to be released on Friday, June 2 via Sour Mash Records. Check out the new song below.

The melancholy single follows fan excitement as mysterious orchestral clips filmed by Gallagher himself at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London emerged on social media at the beginning of the year. Gallagher says the latest single is his favorite off the upcoming album. “It has this film noir vibe. It’s not like anything else I’ve ever done before. It’s very melancholic, but I like that. I’m a Gemini – I’m as up as I am down, and the trick is to meet somewhere in the middle and turn that into music,” shared the singer. The song boast strings arranged by long-time High Flying Birds collaborator Rosie Danvers.

Council Skies will be available on CD, heavyweight vinyl with bonus 7”, LP picture disc plus various digital formats including a Dolby Atmos spatial audio version. The band will also embark on a North American and European tour this summer, with support from Metric in the US. Find tickets and more information here.
