Oasis

British band Oasis will enter the studios in the early days of November to record their seventh

album. They have already completed work on two songs set for the album, and have demoed the

rest.

Noel Gallagher revealed that Oasis already began initial recording at the studio six weeks ago,

and plan to mix the album after a Christmas break.

"We start in Abbey Road a week on Monday [November 5]," he said. "Then we'll probably work

through a couple of months there, have Christmas off, then go and mix it and see where we're

at.

"We all write separately, but for some reason all the songs sound like they've got a common

thread. We've been focusing round the grooves more this time."

He added: "The last album ['Don't Believe The Truth'] was quite 'songy', if that makes any sense

• it was quite a British, retro, '60s sounding album. This [new album] is focusing round the

grooves more."

The singer songwriter went on to explain that he'd been having difficulty coming up with lyrical

inspiration.

"I've literally got nothing left to write about," he said. "I've written about being a youth,

and I've written about being a rock star, and I've written about living life in the big city."
