Former Oasis member Noel Gallagher has announced his debut solo single, The Death of You and Me, will be available on August 21, reports CMU.
Released by Gallagher’s own indie label, Sour Mash, the track will be the first official single off his upcoming solo album, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, due out in October.
"My manager asked me who the High Flying Birds are. They aren’t anyone in particular," explained the singer-songwriter. "’Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ is me and whoever is around at the time of whatever it is that I’m doing, a loose collective kinda thing."
Considering Noel’s infamous and ongoing feud with his brother Liam, some suspected the new track was about their tumultuous relationship, but Noel insists this is not the case.
"The saying is that if you don’t leave a place it will be the death of you," he said to the Telegraph. "The song is about people escaping the surroundings they are in, it’s not about me and Liam."
The musician has released a trailer for an upcoming The Death of You and Me music video, but those hoping for a sneak peek at Gallagher’s solo sound will be disappointed – the trailer features little music.
