Noel Gallagher On When Fans Can Expect A New Album From Him
Noel Gallagher has again joined Matt Morgan on his podcast and spoke about how he has been working on new material.
He said "I’ve been in the studio on a bit of a roll, bit of a run, bit of a purple patch, some mega tunes, really f**king great. I’m doing the songs for a new album. I’ve been in the studio every day. If I didn’t have that, I don’t know where I’d be at now. If I wasn’t going in there every day. Actually, some f**king great stuff has come out of it. It’s not electro at all really."
He added "It’s just because their demos, when you hear the finished thing it will be unrecognisable to that but it will still have the same vibe. Everything is motoring, well actually, just cruising. As soon as everything opens I'll just be living the dream again. My studio is in town so I’ll be in town, going to the pub for lunch, going back to the studio pissed up, shouting at people."
When asked when he plans to release it he said "F**k knows. I’m only at the writing stage now. After the last five years flat out touring I’d given myself until 2023 off anyway, before the pandemic came along. I'm still on schedule. I'm just taking my time, I was always going to be writing for a couple of years, so I’m still in that mode so I’m not working towards any definite date."
