Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds today unveiled the Robert Smith remix of “Pretty Boy.” Listen here.   The Cure frontman has taken the driving urgency of the original and transported it into a gloriously spangled, spaced out new dimension, complete with scattered drums and a soaring guitar solo. Speaking of his remix, Robert Smith says, “I was surprised and delighted when Noel asked me to remix this gorgeous song, and I had a lot of fun slowing it down and spacing it out - Cure drummer Jason Cooper gave me a great vibey drum track to play along with - and the rest just phased into place under the starry sky of my distant moon…”   Released in November, the original version of “Pretty Boy” was the first single taken from Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ eagerly anticipated forthcoming studio album Council Skies. “Pretty Boy” was acclaimed by fans and critics alike, with Rolling Stone calling it “a swift-moving track, driven by a restless post-punk energy,” and Spin declaring “Noel’s lyrics are as inscrutable as ever.”   Council Skies, which also includes recent single “Easy Now,” is available to pre-order now on CD, heavyweight vinyl with bonus 7”, LP picture disc plus various HD digital formats including a Dolby Atmos spatial audio version. The Robert Smith remix is featured on deluxe limited-edition triple vinyl and 2CD formats which also include a stunning Radio 2 session version of “Live Forever” and a Pet Shop Boys remix. A printed handwritten lyric sheet of title track Council Skies is included with all album pre-orders via the official store.   Following the announcement of a huge homecoming show at Manchester’s Wythenshawe Park on August 26th, plus UK festival headline dates and big outdoor performances across the summer, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds have confirmed a 27-date North American tour co-headlined with Garbage.
