The Erol Alkan and Richard Norris project has remixed the second single from Noel Gallagher’s forthcoming album.
First it was Andrew Weatherall adding his hypnotic touch to Noel’s ‘In The Heat of the Moment’, now ‘The Ballad Of The Mighty I’ gets a psychedelic makeover from Beyond The Wizard’s Sleeve, streaming below.
Noel has always been vocal about his love of psychedelia, so the Erol Alkan and Richard Norris project is a perfect choice to remix the closer from the Chasing Yesterday album, due on March 2. As you’d expect from the duo responsible for those sublime “re-animations” of Midlake, Franz Ferdinand and Interpol over the years, their take on Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds dials back the modern feel of the original for something imbued with a few more ’70s psych-rock trappings.
