Oasis' Noel Gallagher has revealed that he has written and demo-ed his band's next album and has got the ball rolling for his solo album.
The guitarist told Billboard that songs set for the follow-up to the band's recently-released seventh album 'Dig Out Your Soul' include 'I Want to Live in a Dream In My Record Machine' and 'Come On It's Alright'.
He described the two songs as "psychedelic epics", and said he planned to recruit a choir to contribute vocals to them.
Gallagher said the new material echoed the work of The Kinks. "They all seem to be based around the same four or five chords," he expalined. "It's vastly different from what ['Dig Out Your Soul'] is."
He added: "There's stuff about soldiers and religious people and rock stars and travellers. They seem to be all songs about people, but not people I know. And they all seem to have a narrative; it's kind of like a story which follows on from song to song."
Speaking about his solo album plans, Gallagher said: "I'm going to do one sooner or later – hopefully sooner rather than later.
"I'm kind of hoping Liam might be arrested soon, and then I'll have time to see it through."
NOEL GALLAGHER reckons Glastonbury chief MICHAEL EAVIS will be “s****** himself” after OASIS announced their biggest arena tour yet.
The Manc rockers will play eight mammoth gigs next summer – and KASABIAN and THE ENEMY will also be on the bill.
By the end of July 12 next year the band – Noel, LIAM, ANDY BELL, GEM ARCHER and CHRIS SHARROCK – will have entertained more than a million ale-soaked punters on their epic 18-month world tour.
And the eight gigs will certainly be vying with Glastonbury for ticket buyers’ hard-earned cash.
Announcing the gigs at Wembley, Noel said: “Michael Eavis will be s******* himself when he sees this.
“I thought Knebworth was as big as it could get, but this takes it on.
“Wembley is a great British venue and it is going to be great playing here. I think they will easily be next year’s best gigs, if not the decade. I am really made up with the bill, what a night out. I am just glad I’ll be able to get tickets.
“This is what it’s all about, the gigs that go down in the memory, where people meet their future wives. Liam is s******* himself.”
Oasis start the tour at Heaton Park, Manchester, on June 6 next year. Noel said: “The last person to play Heaton Hall was The Pope in 1982. I supported him back then. I was doing stand up but the religious gags didn’t go down too well.”
Noel added: “Kasabian toured with us in the States a couple of years ago. We always said when we were doing the big super-gigs again we would give them first option.
“I liked The Enemy from the moment I heard their first single. With the three bands on in one night, if I was 16 or 17, I would want to be there.”
