Liam Gallagher spoke confidently—and coined the should-be meme "Beady Eye music, mate"—in an interview with The A.V. Club back in March about his post-Oasis career. Now his brother Noel is stepping up with not one but two solo albums, the first of which comes out on October 17 in the U.K. and November 8 in the U.S. The 10-song Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds was recorded in Los Angeles in 2010 and part of 2011 with Oasis producer Dave Sardy, and includes a small orchestra of backing musicians.
