#2716 Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Who Built the Moon?

If Liam Gallagher's latest was another lap around the Morning Glory memorial speedway, Noel's turn driving the Oasis time machine pulls it off the track and into a ramp; a few spins into a slow motion slide.

It's telling that Noel attached a band name to his project - the album's got muscle and power, reaching for something bigger than its infamous frontman. A swirling, slinky, buzzy odyssey flows out, with shades of Primal Scream's latent dancability, and a touch of (god forbid!) late-era Blur.

The droning structures descend into watch-checking repetitions, but it's a pleasant kind of boring, fully filling your headspace, taking your brain for a solid little vacation 4/5
