Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds announced details of Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021) today. The album, set to be released on June 11th via Sour Mash Records, is a definitive 18 track greatest hits package, and a timely reminder of the breadth and depth of classic songs from the first decade of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds. The new single “We’re On Our Way Now” is unveiled today, a taste of the future-fan-favorites to come. Listen here.
 
Curated and compiled entirely by Noel, the tracklisting of Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021) encompasses songs from High Flying Birds’ three UK Number One albums (Noel Gallagher’s High Flying BirdsChasing Yesterday and Who Built The Moon?) and the three acclaimed EPs (Black Star DancingThis Is The Place and Blue Moon Rising). Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021) also features two brand new songs produced by Noel Gallagher & Paul ‘Strangeboy’ Stacey, “We’re On Our Way Now” and “Flying On The Ground. 

Since establishing Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds post the legendary success of Oasis, Gallagher has never sat still creatively. He’s mastered the art of embracing an instinctive sonic evolution and creative freedom whilst never neglecting the song craft. From the New Orleans brass powered blast of debut single “The Death Of You And Me” to the self produced psych-pop and space bound experimentation of “Chasing Yesterday” and the disco saturated, sonic veer of “Who Built The Moon?” at the hands of renowned producer David Holmes and the subsequent EP releases, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds have proven time and time again to be unshackled by genre and expectation. That Gallagher has so successfully married this bold and blistering approach with huge commercial success (over 2.4 million albums sold internationally with three UK Number One albums - marking a record breaking ten UK consecutive Number One studio albums across his career), coupled with relentless touring globally, is testament to Gallagher’s unerring ability to marry laser-guided melodies and fearless creativity.
 
Speaking of the timings of High Flying Birds’ greatest hits, Noel says: “10 years of The High Flying Birds?? Blimey! ... just think of all the things I COULD have done in that time!!”

"The title just came to me one afternoon, at the kitchen table.” He continues ”It's a saying isn't it: 'back the way we came'. I actually thought it was a great title. Which is why it's got vol 1. Because if there's another one, I'm not coming up with another title!"
 
Now with the best part of thirty years as one of the country's most respected and prolific songwriters under his belt, Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021) celebrates another landmark in Noel Gallagher’s unparalleled career.
