Noel Gallagher has announced a new greatest hits album, ‘Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021)’, featuring two brand new tracks.

To mark a decade of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, the career-spanning collection is being released on June 11.

It includes the track ‘We’re On Our Way Now’, which is out now, and is a nod to his former band Oasis' '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?' era.

Name-dropping the Britpop group's track 'Cast No Shadow' from the seminal 1995 LP, Noel sings: “I hear the morning sun, doesn’t cast no shadow. You chose to drift away, but look at you now.”

The second new tune is 'Flying On The Ground'.

The 18-track collection also includes songs from High Flying Birds three chart-topping albums, 2011's self-titled, 2015's 'Chasing Yesterday' and 2017's 'Who Built The Moon?'.

Noel said of his Best Of album:  “10 years of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds?? Blimey! … Just think of all the things I COULD have done in that time!!

“The title just came to me one afternoon, at the kitchen table.

 “It’s a saying isn’t it: ‘back the way we came’. I actually thought it was a great title. Which is why it’s got vol 1. Because if there’s another one, I’m not coming up with another title!”

The 53-year-old musician has revealed that he recorded four tracks for the album, but they were the ones that "came out best".

Speaking to Dave Berry on Absolute Radio, he said: "Because I've got my own record label and all that I didn't want anyone that works for me sitting around doing nothing.

"So I realised 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 and 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."
