Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds have announced the upcoming release of their fourth album. “Council Skies” arrives on June 2.

In addition to the announcement, the group shared the new song, “Easy Now”.

The former Oasis member revealed that he wants the album to transport the listener to a “fantasy world”. In a statement he explained, “It’s going back to the beginning. Daydreaming, looking up at the sky, and wondering about what life could be… that’s as true to me now as it was in the early ’90s. When I was growing up in poverty and unemployment, music took me out of that. Top of the Pops on TV transformed your Thursday night into this fantasy world, and that’s what I think music should be. I want my music to be elevating and transforming in some way.”
