Oasis have revealed that their new album will be called Dig Out Your Soul.
The LP, the veteran group's seventh studio release, will hit stores on October 26. The first single from the record, titled 'The Shock Of The Lightning', arrives on September 29.
Noel Gallagher explained the band's change in direction for the new album in a statement, saying: "I wanted to write music that had a groove, not songs that followed that traditional pattern of verse, chorus and middle eight.
"I wanted a sound that was more hypnotic, more driving. Songs that would draw you in, in a different way."
Gallagher added that the first single was the most traditional Oasis track on the album.
"It was written dead fast and recorded dead fast," he said. "'The Shock Of The Lightning' basically is the demo. And it has retained its energy. There's a lot to be said for that, I think. The first time you record something is always the best."
