Guitarist says experimental LP is 'not our usual thing'
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.
The Chemical Brothers have spoken about their decision to turn down the opportunity of remixing Oasis' hit 'Wonderwall'.
The dance duo, who were offered the chance to re-imagine the song in the early 90s, said they declined because of their lack of experience.
"They did ask us to remix Wonderwall when that first came out but basically we didn't know how to do it,” Tom Rowlands told the BBC.
"Yeah, that would have been good to do, it was a fairly big song,” Ed Simons added.
As previously reported on Gigwise, the duo recently remixed the Oasis song 'Falling Down', which will appear as a b-side to the Manchester band's new single, 'The Shock of the Lightning'.
Speaking about the remix, Rowlands said: "When Noel's name comes through on your phone, the command has been issued. It was exciting to do it and I'm glad they like it.
"We chucked loads of bits out and did it how we would want it to sound."
The single is released onSeptember 28th and will be followed by Oasis' new album 'Dig Out Your Soul', which is released on October 6th.

The video for the new Oasis Single 'The Shock Of The Lightning' has appeared on ekstrabladet.dk, it appears that the website posted the video early and has since taken it down.
Here are some of the comments I have found on various Oasis forums about the video.
"It's all a bit f**king mental tbf! It's like an explosion of... everything!" "i dig it" "yeah the video is great it fits the album cover quite well." "Impressive! A visually-stunning Oasis video - never thought I'd see the day." "Super super super cool! Smart songs, artwork, videos - I like it." "The best Oasis video in a long long time.... very nice, very cool!!!!" "oasis are back with some vengeance!" "woww!..I love it!...." "fabulous video. probably their 3rd best ever behind the masterplan and supersonic" "So Oasis have 'Wing Commander Bell'' and now Flight Lieutenant Liam?" "Cool beans, it's like All Around The World meets Hard to Explain. I like it." "F**king incredible video!" "Very good video." "the videoo is magnificent"
Star Stories actor Steve Edge has revealed that Oasis and Blur will be among the celebrities lampooned on the new series of the show.
Edge, who stars alongside Kevin Bishop on the Channel 4 programme, confirmed that the newest scripts are the funniest yet.
"I'm sure we're doing Elton John and David Furnish," Edge told The Mirror. "We read a new Britpop sketch of Oasis and Blur going to see Blair, which sounds good. Jarvis Cocker is the narrator, like an Austin Powers figure.
"It's a great job for summer - lots of funny wigs and silly voices."
The third series is currently in production and is expected to be included in Channel 4's autumn schedules.
Kaiser Chiefs have hit back at Oasis' Noel Gallagher, who recently made disparaging remarks about the Leeds band.
Noel Gallagher recently criticised Kaiser Chiefs, comparing them to The Monkees and saying that he didn't like the band despite the fact that he "did drugs for 18 years".
Kaiser Chiefs' drummer Nick Hodgson has since hit back at Gallagher, implying that the Oasis man is seeking publicity for his band's forthcoming new album, 'Dig Out Your Soul'.
"We're definitely not offended but I do actually like it, I think it's a bit of sport," he told BBC Newsbeat after the band's V Festival appearance in Chelmsford yesterday (August 17).
"It is funny though," he continued, "because it does happen [Gallagher criticising bands] every single time they put out an album. And the last two albums it's been us [getting the brunt of it].
"When I was 17 and Noel was going on about Blur I was watching it, and now I'm 30 and he's 50 and he's talking about us, it's brilliant."
Oasis is scheduled to play the first show on European ground after their North American leg on September 29th .The Setting will be the intimate club Gloria in Cologne , Germany and it is part of a 1Live radio concert broadcast.
A small amount of tickets are available at the Gloria Box office only and will go on sale at noon , Tuesday the 19th. 1 ticket per person.
Julie Cullen grabs Oasis legend Noel Gallagher for an exclusive chat about the bands new album Dig Out Your Soul.
Noel said it's the most current batch of songs that he has ever had for a album. And that three of the songs have two drummers on (Zak and Noel) and sounds a bit glam.
He said that there are no pop songs the album, and the album has a biblical theme to it and that he does not know where it's come from.
Julian who did the album artwork said that the album sounds like a religious armageddon.
Noel joins the show after 44 minutes, listen again or download the podcast (later today) by clicking here.
Mark Ronson has hit back at Noel Gallagher's jibe that he should "learn three chords on the guitar and write a tune - instead of ruining everybody else's".
Mark posted on his blog:
Oh, Noel.....
noel gallagher said i should "learn three chords on the guitar and go write a tune". so i just wanted him to know that i'm actually taking guitar lessons from Jay-Z right now and he's already taught me both chords to "Wonderwall" (tune!). in fact, it's so much fun having Jay teach me all of noel's songs on the guitar (hooray!) that i"m thinking of doing an Oasis/Jay Z remix album a la "The Grey Album". Potential titles are "Champagne Superhova" or "Definitely Jay Z"*. I'll keep you posted....
Noel Gallagher chats about the new Oasis album in an exclusive interview for The Music Week.
Noel takes Julie Cullen through the making of their "biblical" new LP, explaining how Oasis went glam and from where the band now draws its inspiration.
The guitarist - whose bandmates include singer brother Liam, guitarist Gem Archer, bassist Andy Bell and drummer Chris Sharrock - thinks the group's songs would make a fantastic soundtrack to a stage show.
He said: "Oasis the musical has got to happen at some point - five lads who shook Manchester. 'Roll With It - The Musical'. Ben Elton's got to have six months on his own soon. He can write it then!"
As well as his musical ambitions, Noel admits he was recently offered the chance to appear on controversial UK TV programme 'The Jeremy Kyle Show'.
The 41-year-old musician explained: "I met Jeremy Kyle when I was in the Granada studios in Manchester doing something and he came up to me with a completely straight face and said, 'When are we going to get you and your brother on the show?' That would be brilliant wouldn't it?
"He'd go, 'You never turn up to rehearsals do you? You haven't turned up to rehearsals in eight years, have you? Have you? You write all the songs, you have held him back for eight years.' He wasn't joking!"
