“We’re On Our Way Now,” which the always quotable songwriter dubbed as “a taste of the future-fan-favorites to come.” It’s from the ex-Oasis member’s Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021) greatest hits set to release on June 11 via Sour Mash Records, and also features a second new song, “Flying On The Ground.”

Speaking on Absolute Radio, 53-year-old Gallagher tells how he didn’t want to sit around doing nothing during the pandemic. Recalling a conversation with his bandmates, he said, “I realized it was the 10 year anniversary coming up this year and was like, ‘What about a Best Of?’ and we kicked the idea around for a bit. I had a few tunes that I had never finished off for various projects in those 10 years. I think I had four and I went to a studio and recorded them, socially distanced of course, and the two that made it onto the album are the two that came out best.”

There are 18 tracks in total. The collection will feature 16 of the band’s greatest hits from Gallagher’s previous solo albums (Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Chasing Yesterday and Who Built The Moon?) and three EPs (Black Star Dancing, This Is The Place and Blue Moon Rising).

High Flying Birds formed shortly after the tremendous success and then the dissolution of Oasis. SPIN recently reminisced about the bands split — and explored hints at a possible reunion — when Noel stated how he wished he’d played the Paris show back in 2009 that put an abrupt halt to Oasis’ career.
