Noel Gallagher recording acoustic album this year “for the fans”

Noel Gallagher has revealed that he is in the process of recording an entirely acoustic album, which he says will be “for the fans”.The former Oasis guitarist had previously suggested that he would be working on a new album early in the new year, but had not previously gone into detail about the material.Speaking on Matt Morgan’s podcast (via Music News), he said: “I’m back in the studio – not rock, the acoustic stuff.

I’m doing it for fans really.”“I’ve had to take all the electronic equipment out of the studio… because I’ve tried to make an acoustic album three times, and every time (I’ve used the electronics)… so it’s just acoustic instruments in the studio.”Gallagher went on to say that he has completed six songs already, adding: “There’s a song called ‘God Help Us All’, which is an old song from 2005, so when I was still in Oasis, but I never recorded it.“But there is a demo of it when a load of EPs came out.

Then there’s one that was bootlegged called ‘Just Let It Come Down Over Me’, which is quite country. I’ll do that, but the rest of it is all new stuff.

I’m looking forward to the challenge of seeing it through… as long as the melody and lyrics are good, it’s good.”On New Year’s Eve, Gallagher dropped an emotive new demo track titled ‘In A Little While’, in a possible signal of what the upcoming acoustic album might sound like.“They say it’s over, well I don’t believe it/ They tell me it’s gone but that can’t be true/ And if it’s lost, well I’m gonna find it/ Turn me a page, let’s start anew,” he sings in the chorus.
