The Shock Of The Lightning new single out September 29th
Dig Out Your Soul new album out October 6th
Oasis are set to return later this year with a new single and their seventh studio album. The single,The Shock Of The Lightning is released on September 29th and the album, Dig Out Your Soul follows in October; it is the first new Oasis music since last years Lord Dont Slow Me Down, taken from the on the road film of the same name. Dig Out Your Soul sees Dave Sardy return to the producers chair following his work on their 2005 album, Dont Believe The Truth. Recorded at Abbey Road and mixed in Los Angeles, all four members once again contribute tracks, but the recording marks a new approach for the band as described by the bands principle songwriter, Noel:
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.
The lead single is still unmistakably Oasis, a Noel penned song with Liams immediately familiar voice to the fore underlining their distinctive brand of finger in the socket rock n roll.
The Shock Of The Lightning may well represent the most recognisable Oasis song on the album but, again, the new approach on Dig Out Your Soul was present on this lead track as Noel explains:
If The Shock Of The Lightning sounds instant and compelling to you, its 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 theres a lot to be said for that, I think. The first time you record something is always the best.
Dig Out Your Soul will be the first album released on the bands own Big Brother label worldwide.
