Noel Gallagher pursuing a ‘brand new way of working’ on third solo album

 

Noel Gallagher has spent a fair amount of his time on the European festival circuit dropping subtle hints about his plans for a third solo album.

Most recently, during his time in the Low Countries, Gallagher at various points revealed he has been both writing and recording new material, and also spoke of a ‘mystery producer’ enlisted for the sessions.

Now, in an interview with ABC Radio conducted at the end of a US tour, the High Flying Birds man has suggested he could be looking to move further away from the classic, no thrills songwriting style which has defined his success both with Oasis and as a solo artist.

There are signposts to a new direction on this year’s ‘Chasing Yesterday‘, particularly on the prog, brass-led groove of ‘The Right Stuff‘ and, according to the interview, this time it’s ‘been an absolute brand new way of working for me’. “It’s something I’ve never done before,” he added.

Fans will be hoping this fresh approach proves more successful than the collaboration with psychedelic production duo The Amorphous Androgynous – a shelved album whose tapes were apparently ‘destroyed’ by Gallagher.
