"Council Skies" has layered instrumentation, including strings recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios.

 

This new single is the fourth to be revealed from the upcoming album, following "Pretty Boy" featuring Johnny Marr, "Easy Now" and "Dead To The World," which Noel says is, "by some distance my favourite tune on the album." All tracks have received critical acclaim from media and fans alike, with SPIN declaring "Noel's lyrics are as inscrutable as ever."
