Elsewhere, Gallagher further spotlights his newfound love for The Cure (that first surfaced with Who Built The Moon?’s It’s A Beautiful World) in the propulsive, A Forest-like Pretty Boy, which has already been remixed and rendered even more Cure-like by Robert Smith, who half-timed the tempo from Seventeen Seconds to Disintegration. If there’s the odd stray into old habits – the plod of ‘There She Blows’, for one – such feelings are masked by what now seems like a blatant decision to not repeat the past. The Johnny Marr-starring ‘Pretty Boy’s muted but motorik drive is as close as we’ve heard Noel to re-capturing the rawness of Oasis’ early demos, while ‘Trying To Find A World That’s Been and Gone’ could have been written while daydreaming as a teenager, looking to forge a new path. The days of his audience listening to tunes that they “won’t give a shit about” could be about to end – these songs bridge the gap splendidly.
