Oasis' new album to be called 'Dig Out Your Soul'

London, Jun 25 : English rock band Oasis have named their seventh album 'Dig Out Your Soul,' it has emerged.

The LP, to be out on October 26, will be preceded by the single 'The Shock Of The Lightning' on September 29.

According to Noel Gallagher, the band has taken on a new sound for the record.

"I wanted to write music that had a groove, not songs that followed that traditional pattern of verse, chorus and middle eight," the Sun quoted him as saying.

"I wanted a sound that was more hypnotic, more driving. Songs that would draw you in, in a different way," he said.

The first single is the most traditionally Oasis sounding of the collection.

"It was written dead fast and recorded dead fast," Noel said.

"The Shock Of The Lightning basically is the demo. And it has retained its energy.

"There's a lot to be said for that, I think. The first time you record something is always the best," he added.

The album is the band's first since Don't Believe The Truth in 2005.
