Oasis helmsman Noel Gallagher has given a track by track description of his band’s new album ‘Don’t Believe The Truth’ and has revealed that Martin Duffy from Primal Scream guests on the highly anticipated new release.
In a new interview featured in next month's issue of Q Magazine, Gallagher talks through the band’s new 12-track album ‘Don’t Believe The Truth’, describing some of the inspirations behind the songs and what fans can expect.
1. ‘Turn Up The Sun’ - “A bit like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, A stomper”
2. ‘Mucky Fingers’ – Imagine Bob Dylan singing [The Velvet Underground’s] ‘Waiting For The Man’ with that frantic drumbeat.
3. ‘Lyla’ – Our poppiest thing since ‘Roll With It’ Annoyingly catchy. A bit like The Who.”
4. ‘Love Like A Bomb’ – ‘One of Liam’s. It starts off acoustic and Martin Duffy of Primal Scream plays this kinda country piano solo.”
5. ‘The Importance Of Being Idle’ – “A cross between The Kinks and The La’s about being a lazy f**ker.”
6. ‘The Meaning Of Soul’ – “Like Elvis on crack. We played it at Glastonbury like The Stooges.”
7. ‘Guess God Thinks I’m Abel’ – A Liam tune that’s kind of slowish and acoustic.”
8. ‘Part Of The Queue’ – One of mine with a weird 3/4 rhythm that’s a bit Shack [brilliant mid ‘90s smack-blighted, hugely melodic Liverpudlian nearly-rans] doing Love”
9. ‘Keep The Dream Alive’ – “A song by Andy [Bell – bassist] that’s like The Stone Roses.”
10. ‘A Bell Will Ring’ – Gem [Archer – guitarist] wrote it. It’s the closest anyone’s got to sounding like [The Beatles’] ‘Revolver’.”
11. 'Let There Be Love' – “We [Noel and Liam] both sing, like the self-Righteous Brothers. It’s a fitting anthem to finish the record.”
‘Don’t Believe the Truth’ will be released on May 30 and the first single 'Lyla’ will out on May 16. Both will be released on Gallagher’s own Big Brother Recordings label
