On 13 October 2014, it was announced that a new album titled Chasing Yesterday would be released on 2 March 2015. The first single from the album, ” In the Heat of the Moment “, was released on 17 November 2014 followed by ” Ballad of the Mighty I ” and ” Riverman “. A UK, European and North American tour followed as well as many festival appearances. Rolling Stone gave a positive review stating, “The greater appeal of Chasing Yesterday is in the way Gallagher, 47, now does reflection, loss and persistent optimism, leavening his usual power chords and pub-choir-ready choruses with a dusky, psychedelic churn that exposes the long, hidden thread running from early-Seventies Traffic to the Stone Roses .” Mojo gave the album a 4/5 rating writing that, “While it may appear to arrive under a typically vague or clanging banner in the tradition of Dig Out Your Soul or Standing on the Shoulder of Giants , Chasing Yesterday is the most fittingly titled album to bear Noel Gallagher’s name. The 47-year-old is in reflective lyrical mode, revealing his view from middle age, trying to find peace with the past, or (textbook mid-life crisis material) searching for a spectral, unattainable female.”.
