This month's Mojo Magazine features an interview with Noel where he talks about Oasis' forthcoming album, 'Dig Out Your Soul'. He's on top form and the article makes for a good read.
During the chat, he revealed the titles of three tracks on 'Dig Out Your Soul':
Bag It Up: The first track on the album which he describes as being influenced by The Pretty Things' 'Baron Saturday'. I'm Outta Time: A Liam-penned "John Lennon moment". Soldier On: Which has a funny 'lost & found' story behind it.
Oasis release the single 'The Shock of the Lightning' on September 29th and album 'Dig Out Your Soul' on October 6th.
Keep checking back to Oasisinet for more news on the forthcoming album.
NEW ALBUM & SINGLE DETAILS ANNOUNCED
‘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 year’s ‘Lord Don’t Slow Me Down’, taken from the on the road film of the same name.
‘Dig Out Your Soul’ sees Dave Sardy return to the producer’s chair following his work on their 2005 album, ‘Don’t 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 band’s 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 Liam’s 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, 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 first time you record something is always the best.”
‘Dig Out Your Soul’ will be the first album released on the band’s own Big Brother label worldwide.
Oasis have announced they will undertake a short Tour of Mexico this November. It marks the band's first shows beyond the capital Mexico City, which they last played in March 2006. It’s anticipated the band will be performing songs from their new studio album, as well as a large selection of old favourites.

LONDON, ONTARIO DATE CAPS OFF OASIS CANADIAN TOUR
Oasis have added one last date to their fast-selling inaugural Canadian tour. They will play the John Labatt Centre in London, Ontario on 9th September. This will be the band's first visit to the city.
On May 26th, Paul Weller will release the Double-A Side, 'Have You Made Up Your Mind / Echoes Round The Sun'. 'Echoes Round The Sun' was co-penned by Noel and marks the first time the pair have written together.
Noel put down his guitar for the recording, instead playing bass and piano on the song. Our very own Gem was also there for the session and contributes guitar and keyboards.
The song is taken from Weller's forthcoming '22 Dreams', due out on June 2nd.
