Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds have today released new song "Open The Door, See What You Find" ahead of the eagerly anticipated new studio album Council Skies, which releases on Friday via Sour Mash Records. Listen here and watch visualizer here. Speaking about the track, Noel says, "Lyrically, the premise is that, at a certain point in your life you look in a mirror and you see all you’ve ever been and all you’re ever going to be. It’s about being happy with that. Being happy with where you are in life, with who you are, and where you’re going. Life is good!" "Open The Door, See What You Find" also features longtime friend and collaborator Johnny Marr on guitar. This is the fifth new song to be revealed from Council Skies following "Pretty Boy" (also featuring Johnny Marr), "Easy Now," the epic "Dead To The World" and current single "Council Skies." All have received widespread acclaim from media and fans alike, with SPIN declaring “Noel’s lyrics are as inscrutable as ever," and American Songwriter who hailed, "The new record showcases the artist’s knack for composition, tone, and magnetism.” A decade since the formation of the High Flying Birds, and having achieved four consecutive UK Number One albums, Council Skies, produced by Noel and Paul ‘Strangeboy’ Stacey, is the band’s fourth studio album and widely regarded as Noel’s most complete solo statement to date. The release of Council Skies will kick start a huge live season for the band beginning with a 26 date USA tour, co-headlining with US alternative rockers Garbage which starts on Friday coinciding with album release. The band then return to the UK in July to play an array of UK outdoor shows and headline festival performances, including a massive homecoming gig at Manchester’s Wythenshawe Park on August Bank Holiday weekend. This is followed by a full UK arena tour throughout December 2023. Tickets are on sale here. Council Skies is available to pre-order now on CD, heavyweight vinyl with bonus 7”, LP picture disc plus various digital formats including a Dolby Atmos spatial audio version. The previously released Robert Smith remix of ‘Pretty Boy’ is featured on deluxe limited-edition triple vinyl and 2CD formats which also include a stunning live session version of ‘Live Forever’ and a remix from Pet Shop Boys. A printed handwritten lyric sheet of title track Council Skies will be included with all album pre-orders via the official store.
