"I’ve had to take all the electronic equipment out of the studio": Noel Gallagher confirms he's making an acoustic guitar album and pokes fun at Liam's new single with John Squire

Noel Gallagher of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds performs at OVO Arena Wembley on December 14, 2023 in London, England.

In the last 30 years, the UK has had few songwriters who can connect with audiences like Noel Gallagher and his J-150. It's clearly not lost on him, either, and with Liam heading out playing the raucous side of their old band with a Definitely Maybe tour in 2024, The Chief is leaning into his mellower side. And he's doing it ruthlessly.

"I’m back in the studio – not rock, the acoustic stuff. I’m doing it for fans really," he told friend and comedian Matt Morgan on the latter's podcast.

“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 failed]… so it’s just acoustic instruments in the studio.”
