Noel Gallagher is getting ready to release his second studio album with his High Flying Birds. Chasing Yesterday is due out Mar. 2, and it is now available to stream on iTunes Radio. The former Oasis member has been promoting the album for awhile now, hitting the interview circuit pretty hard.

The singer announced the album in October through a press release, calling the album a "rich, expansive and multi-layered record, drawing from a range of disparate influences - from west coast rock to classic rock 'n' roll and even some space jazz."

"It was a major pain in the arse," Gallagher said about recording the album. "It's not that I've ever had people telling me what to write or what direction to go in, but managing sessions from one end of the week to the other proved extremely difficult. I had all these people looking at me and saying: 'right, what are we doing today?' I was making the whole thing up as I went along."

Gallagher and Co. have released two singles from the LP, "In the Heat of the Moment" and "The Ballad of the Mighty I." Former Smiths guitarist, Johnny Marr, worked with Gallagher on the latter, and he had nothing but compliments for the LP after hearing an early cut.

"It's really good. What I heard of it was very melodic, some of it pretty rocking too, and fans are going to really like it," he said. "He doesn't do things he doesn't think are great. And his singing is really good on the album."
