It seems Noel Gallagher's (relatively) experimental era of Who Built The Moon is well and truly over after latest album Council Skies heralded his return to guitar-based songwriting. But the pandemic period he wrote it in was far more fruitful than previously thought; he says he's got enough material for another two albums and they could be very different. Who needs an Oasis reunion, eh?
"In the lockdown I wrote about the best part of 40 songs," he told Rolling Stone. "So this album was a cross-section of all the different styles that I'd done to that point, which is what I liked about the album. Pretty Boy was a bit like the electronic thing and then there was the Ballad thing and then there was the '60s thing and hen there was like a bit of a jazz thing with Council Skies. So I pick the best things that brought me to this place so far. But there is an acoustic album, as well, which is very stripped back – which I started recording actually recently before I came away [for his current US tour with the High Flying Birds]. And then those years are very heavily guitar bass stadium rock album.
