Noel Gallagher has announced Who Built the Moon?, a new album from his High Flying Birds project. In a move that’s sure to spark even more animosity between the former Oasis brethren, the record is due out November 24th, just over a month after Liam Gallagher drops his anticipated debut solo effort, As You Were.

Who Built the Moon? follows 2015’s Chasing Yesterday and was recorded after a “bracing, two-year creative collaboration” with producer/DJ David Holmes. Unlike past efforts which found Gallagher writing alone most of the time, the 11 tracks on this new LP were written in Belfast and London studios right alongside Holmes. The results are an album that finds Gallagher exploring “French psychedelic pop as much as classic electro, soul, rock, disco and dance…”

“People are going to be surprised,” Holmes said in a statement. “I think people love Noel and they’re desperate for him to make a really big, bold, up-tempo beast of a record – a lot of Noel’s music is quite mid-tempo. This one is fun.”

Gallagher was also joined in studio by guest musicians Paul Weller of The Jam (organ on “Holy Mountain”) and Johnny Marr (guitar and harmonic on “If Love is the Law”). While Gallagher calls “Holy Mountain” “one of the best things that I’ve ever done,” his brother Liam is already taking cockney shots at his reliance on special guests and his shift towards psych:
