Oasis announce new album details
Oasis have confirmed details of the release of their seventh studio album, which will be entitled 'Dig Out Your Soul'.
The album will be released in Ireland through the band's own Big Brother imprint (in an arrangement with Sony-BMG) on 3 October.
It will be preceded by the single 'The Shock of the Lightning', which will be released on 26 September.
Posting on the band's official website, guitarist Noel Gallagher said: "If 'The Shock of the Lightning' sounds instant and compelling to you, it's because it was written dead fast. And recorded dead fast."
"'The Shock of The Lightning' basically is the demo. And it has retained its energy. And there's a lot to be said for that, I think."
The forthcoming album was produced by Dave Sardy, who also worked on the band's last album, and was recorded at London's Abbey Road studios and mixed in Los Angeles.
Describing the sound of the new album Gallagher added: "I wanted to write music that had a groove; not songs that followed that traditional pattern of verse, chorus and middle eight. I wanted a sound that was more hypnotic; more driving.
"Songs that would draw you in, in a different way. Songs that you would maybe have to connect to - to feel."
