Liam Gallagher hopes to release new album in July
Former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher and his new band planning to release their first studio project sometime in July.
The performer said that his new band, which comprises of ex-Oasis bandmates Gem Archer and Andy Bell, had written a total of eigh track and were looking to heading to a studio very soon.
During his interview with XFM, Gallagher said several of the new songs were already written when Oasis split.
The singer said that the band was planning studio time in April under the guidance of a producer. He revealed that three of the songs would be recorded with him as test and that the rest of the album would be complete with the same producer if the work was satisfying.
Gallagher revealed that he was anxious to head out with the new band, which remains nameless, adding the fact that Oasis had ‘only’ generated seven albums was regretful.
The performer managed to had a few indirect coments which were clearly directed at his brother Noel, who quit the band on a final and dramatic storming-out minutes before a show in Paris last year.
Gallagher branded ‘poor’ the quantity of work created by the band during its some 18 years together. The singer chastised Oasis for taking so long to write and record new material.
He said that “seven albums for Oasis is not good” adding that Ian Brown is already on his seventh solo record.
Gallagher revealed that he feels Oasis should have created better, more important albums.
Meanwhile, it was announced this week that Oasis had been nominated for three NME 2010 awards including Best British Band.
