It was odd times last year when we got not one but two albums helmed by a Gallagher. If I wasn’t so convinced that they actually hated one another, I’d write it off as a smart marketing ploy. It makes for an interesting narrative to the say the least. So it’s inevitable and unavoidable to compare the two projects. While I enjoyed the brother’s project in that it didn’t stray too far from the sound that made him famous, I found myself more taken aback by Noel Gallagher’s significantly different approach to Who Built the Moon? This is probably the most experimental sound that I can recall him ever producing – even attempting conceptual instrumental tracks and musical elements, like a backing choir and almost 70s-esque Motown type backing vocals, that I wasn’t expecting to hear. Sonically, it’s vastly more extensive than his past couple of projects and he sounds like he’s got much more of a pep to his step. Whereas Liam’s album was comfortable in it’s familiarity, Noel Gallagher’s feels refreshingly retro yet inventive and new and in turn makes for a much more interesting listen as a whole. This might just be the second wind he’s really needed.

“She was there
Diamonds in her hair
Singing out a dead man’s song
Here am I
With the mighty and the high
Feeling like I don’t belong”
