NEW ALBUM & SINGLE DETAILS ANNOUNCED
24 June 2008

‘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.

I'm less than meh.

Yay!

Fucking too right! Bands like Joy Division, The Smiths, The The, Depeche Mode etc piss all over them in terms of what they've done for British music.

Well, i've been waiting since 1994 for them to impress me again, i wonder if they are capable this time.

lyla was the best of their new stuff, pretty hard to match the early days though.

At least they'll have the opportunity to say some funny things in the interviews. All they're good for these days.

Remember when Be Here Now came out? One of the best reviewed albums in living memory - one of the fastest selling albums ever.

I bought it for €0.99 a year after it came out. I have yet to play it all the way through.

Oasis cds are bought by people who only buy one album a year.

I concur.

This is the best band in Britain right now.

Except that Cardies aren't British. Oh wait, I see what you mean. Cardies are so shit they make British bands look good. Fair point.

The Cardigans are infinitely better than Oasis. Blur are better than Oasis. Shed 7 are better than Oasis. Oasis are infinitely better than Coldplay or Keane. Keane are infinitely better than The Feeling and Orson, who are the pits.
