Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds have today released brand new single “Blue Moon Rising“, the title track from the forthcoming EP of the same name, due March 6 via Sour Mash / Caroline Australia. Noel says of the single: “How it manages to combine the influences of Metallica, The Jesters Of Malice, Mantovani, Robinson Crusoe as well as Bob Marley AND The Wailers is literally beyond me… oh, and it’s not about City by the way.”
An accompanying video for the dance-inspired track is also out today starring acclaimed actor Jack O’Connell and actress/model Gala Gordon. Shot at London’s Scala and directed by Dan Cadan and Scully, the narrative is a game of power play, charged with drama, 70’s undertones and cinematic flare. Dan and Scully also directed previous videos for this recent series of EP releases by Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.
Blue Moon Rising is the third in a string of EP’s from Noel in the past 8 months. Black Star Dancing was released mid-last year and followed by This Is The Place in September. ‘Blue Moon Rising’ features new songs including recent single ‘Wandering Star’, as well as remixes of the title track and is available digitally and on limited edition vinyl formats.
Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds recently toured Australia and New Zealand with U2 to widespread praise, supporting the band their acclaimed Joshua Tree Tour.
