Oasis leader Noel Gallagher has teamed up with Mantra Of The Cosmos - the indie-rock supergroup featuring Shaun Ryder and Bez from the Happy Mondays plus former Oasis members Andy Bell and Zak Starkey - for a new single described as “Free Bird for Mods”.
Unfortunately, us mere mortals can't hear it yet, as the single, titled Domino Bones (Gets Dangerous), is going on sale on January 19 exclusively at two Mantra Of The Cosmos shows at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, and from the venue's webstore.
Noel Gallagher says, “Mantra Of The Cosmos is like Dylan, Dali and Ginsberg on a rocketship to the moon to have it with the Clangers”, and Zak Starkey sounds suitably excited to have Gallagher collaborating with his band.
“It’s not every day that the greatest songwriter of my generation - not to mention Shaun, the greatest beat poet of our times - sends a tune to me,” the drummer says. “I was in a daze for a bit cos it’s not something you want to fuck up! It came together great - everyone digs it!”
