Noel Gallagher has said the forthcoming Oasis album, 'Dig
Out Your Soul', will see the band taking a newer, less mainstream
direction.
Speaking to BBC 6Music, Gallagher explained that he does not
expect to hear too many of the new songs on radio because of their more
experimental nature.
"It's not Britpop, let's put it that way. It's not
our usual thing," he explained. "It's just really exciting, three of the tracks
have got two drummers on, me and Zak [Starkey] playing drums. Some of it sounds
a bit glam. There's no pop singles on it. I'd be amazed if anything else gets on
the radio past the first single."
Gallagher said that the album takes
influences from The Stooges, The Doors and
The Pretty Things - as well as John Lennon.
"There's a
kind of piano-y, John Lennon-y obligatory plod-away song in the middle, which
Liam wrote," he said, "and that's to break up the two sides which are pretty
intense, and it's full-on from the start to finish."
'Dig Out Your Soul'
is released on October 6. It's preceded by a single, 'The Shock Of the
Lightning', on September 29.
