www.thisisfakediy.co.uk/articles/news/exclusive-noel-gallagher-explains-high-flying-birds-artworkNoel Gallagher has explained the artwork for his forthcoming solo album 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds'. In an exclusive to DIY clip, the ex-Oasis man reveals: "We were in Los Angeles, and I'm there with a mate of mine who's a photographer Lawrence Watson. He ends up buying an old 50s polaroid camera. He was taking some pictures in the studio, and they looked great instantly - like 'wow, now that's a photograph'" "There's an old petrol station in Beverley Hills beside the police station that's got a triangular neon roof, and when you stand underneath it it looks like you're stood underneath Concorde. So we go out one night and it's all lit up in the neon, and we're taking these pictures - it looks like I'm stood under the wings of a high flying bird." You can check out the artwork to the album, as described, below.

Standing underneath Concorde would be too literal for Noel, but petrol station - that's it!

Still a rubbish cover no matter what Noel says. He is probably the only one who thinks it is amazin.

It wouldn't be so bad if the extra stuff on the bottom were removed..wtf was he smoking when he approved this? Sometimes Noel outsmarts himself. He thought his production of the songs was good until his producer told him it was shit. Too bad someone didn't tell him the same about the album cover.

The concept is fine. Execution meh. Mostly the colors for me.
I'm getting used to it though. I don't mind it as much now.

Symbolism *cringe And I thought Noel is one of them artists who doesn't do these crap. But could be a coincidence! *hope

I still don't think anyone actually believes this is a good cover.

I will give him props where props are due, if you walk down the row at your local record shop you will definitely see this one because it is ghastly.
However, it is still pretty awful.
