Discover Pretty Green's SS15 Campaign

Pretty Green's inspiration for this season's collection came straight from the British seaside and the thrill of 60's bank holiday mayhem.

Shot in Margate, one of the original Mod strongholds and scene of the classic Mods and Rocker seafront clashes of the early 1960s, this is signature Pretty Green territory. Taking soul music infused Mod heritage and reinterpreting it using modern styling, against a backdrop of long hazy summer days.

Another Review: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds 'Chasing Yesterday'

Noel Gallagher, the ever-talented (although often mouthy) Oasis co-conspirator, returns to the world in a few weeks with his 2nd solo album Chasing Yesterday from Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds. We won’t lie, this one has been at the top of our radar since it was announced last year… especially since the “only ok” release from Foo Fighters last Fall.

So, how is it? I’m still trying to figure out exactly how to write a review about something that’s this good.

The 2011 self-titled Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds was nearly flawless, and came out of the gate with a strut and a wry smile, saying “…Oasis who?” Sort of like the attitude you’d have when you walk into your local bar and everyone knows you. Here, Chasing Yesterday walks into that same bar… but now you own the joint.

Noels’ new record sails through at an even pace, like a convertible cruising down a desert highway at about 80 miles per hour. It never quite gives you an adrenaline rush, but it has no interest in slowing down either. Tracks like the gritty/driving “The Mexican” demonstrate this, as it jams the crunchy guitar and cowbell until you bob your head so much it falls off.

“The Dying of the Light” is one of the most striking songs I’ve ever heard from Gallagher, Oasis included. It’s a little haunting, a little atmospheric, with melodies falling perfectly into place as they start stacking and congealing.

A new addition to the sound is the placement of a few smooth saxophone solos, which are set to some 1970’s psychadelic jams in “The Right Stuff” and “Riverman”. Other tracks are filled with guitar solos, interesting tones, instantly-recognizeable melodies, and prominent groovy beats.

If you’re looking for some of that early Oasis-y rock sound, you’ll find it in the fist-pumping “Lock all the Doors”, which definitely maybe harkens back to the familiar sound of 1994’s Definitely Maybe.

It seems that Noel Gallagher has reached a point in his songwriting career where he can just crank out tunes at a level that most artists never quite achieve. Obviously, you need to enjoy (or at least tolerate) the Brit-Alternative genre in order to appreciate his work, but this new collection is full of really well-written songs. It might take a few more listens to evaluate properly, but Gallagher may have just outdone himself. In the few years he has been solo, he certainly has outdone much of the Oasis body of work.

I’m giving Chasing Yesterday a rating of 9.5. I’d love to give it a perfect 10, but that would imply that it’s a perfect album… and no, perfect albums do not exist.

But if this isn’t a perfect album (by my own logic above), I’m still having a hell of a time finding the flaws.

Rating: 9.5/10

Tracks to check out: “In the Heat of the Moment”, “The Dying of the Light”, “The Mexican”

Noel Gallagher Recruits Massive Attack, Andy Weatherall And More For Remix EP

Noel Gallagher has told Q he might release a remix EP of tracks taken from new album Chasing Yesterday.

The former Oasis man releases his second album Chasing Yesterday on 2 March, and he’s already earmarked several tracks from the record to under go some tinkering.

“Andy Weatherall has done one already, a guy who used to be in the Psychonauts called Pablo who goes under the name of Toy Drum, he’s done one,” Gallagher explained.

“Beyond The Wizard’s Sleeve have done something and I’m speaking to Massive Attack. There are a few things going on. There might be a remix EP coming out sooner or later. It’s all up in the air at the moment.”

Q suggested Rudimental might be an option too as when we recently spoke to the band in the studio the quartet said they were keen to get Noel to lend his vocals to a future track.

“Really? That’s amazing! I’m flattered they’ve even heard of me,” explained Gallagher of the offer. “Well give them my office number.”

Gallery: Noel Gallagher's 12 Best Insults

Twenty years after Oasis reached their zenith, Noel Gallagher has matured into one of rock's unlikelier elder statesmen. As he admits in an interview this weekend, 'When I'm in between tours and have f***-all to do, I sit around and I do become like a dad.'

Now middle-aged and returning with a second album for his High Flying Birds project, we take a moment to celebrate Gallagher's greatest achievements outside of music: his inspired put-downs. From Tony Blair to the Scissor Sisters, the elder Gallagher is happy to voice a distaste for just about anybody he comes across, and here are the highlights.

Noel Gallagher Describes 2013 As A 'Dogshit Year'

Noel Gallagher has said that 2013 was a 'dogshit year', and described it as 'awful'.

He told the Telegraph Magazine "It was awful, I had glandular fever, then I went for my annual health check-up. And honest to God I felt all right when I went in, and the doctor made me feel like I was about to drop dead in the street when I came out. I won't go into it' he says, alluding to an unspecified medical condition, 'but 'I' (also) got tinnitus in my ear, and I pulled two muscles in the back of my hand. Not from playing guitar; I cracked them on the side of something, and I bashed round the casing of the nerves. It was horrible. I couldn't even put my hand in my pocket.

He added "Then I went on holiday with the kids. And I was getting out of a swimming pool with one of them in my hand and did my back in. Then my doctor put me on these tablets - I won't tell what for,' he says again. '[and] told me that if I didn't take them I would virtually drop dead. I was taking them for months and they made me feel awful, So I quit taking them and I feel great again. But I was thinking, the health game's a racket. 'So that was a terrible year. But then again, as soon as I got back to work - I started this album on January 6 20014 - that took my mind off it, and I was all right.'

Noel Gallagher On Beady Eye's Second Album BE

Noel Gallagher has spoken about the release of Beady Eye's second album BE, and said it was 'a chorus away' from being great.

He told the Telegraph Magazine that it's release was hobbled by circumstances, Gem Archer fractured his skull, then at a later date his leg, which meant the cancellation of a number of tour dates.

He said "I believe that if Gem hadn't smashed his face and broken his leg they'd probably still be together,' I think that killed a lot of momentum."

Noel Gallagher Goes To The Gym Every Day

Noel Gallagher has built a gym in his basement so he doesn't have to deal with the general public.

He told the Telegraph Magazine "I go to the gym every day - I'm lucky enough to have a gym in my house, so I don't have to deal with the general public".

He added that his fitness regime was born of necessity. "I'd put my back out, and my doctor sent me to physiotherapy in the hospital. And it was like a gym. And I got into the habit of working out. And like anything you become addicted to it. But I was thinking, 'I cannot go to a gym. I cannot be in a gym with another guy my age who was at Knebworth - he ain't seeing that. So I'm afraid we had to dig the basement out. '
