The Oasis battle is about to gear up with both Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher releasing new albums a month apart of each other.
Liam will have the headstart with ‘As You Were’ due October 6. Noel’s band High Flying Birds will follow in November.
‘As You Were’ is well into pre-promotion with yet another video, for ‘Greedy Soul’, out this week.
Noel’s High Flying Birds’ album ‘Who Built The Moon? Is out 24 November. It will be his first album since ‘Chasing Yesterday’ in 2015.
Noel has recruited Paul Weller and Johnny Marr for his album. Weller will be heard on ‘Holy Mountain’, Marr on ‘If Love Is The Law’. David Holmes produced the album. “We took a keyboard riff we liked from an unused track and added chords,” Noel said. A year later we came to deal with it as a song and when we got to the chorus, David kept asking me to write a new one….again and again and again. I was ready to strangle him. The one that you hear is the eighth attempt and, you know what? The annoying thing is he was right.”
