Noel Gallagher Announces Two Solo Albums

Everyone's favourite rock n roll brothers shocked the world a few years ago when they announced the end of the BritPop sensation that was Oasis. It was a long time coming for fans, but still, it was news that broke the heart of millions of fans who had taken the tunes of Oasis into their hearts.

The split does deliver some positives though. Instead of one Oasis album every fews years - fans will now get a double dose from Liam's band Beady Eye as well as Noel's solo stuff. Or, if Noel has anything to do with it, a double-double dose!

Noel is stepping up with not one but two solo albums, 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' - the first of TWO recently completed albums - will be released through his own label, Sour Mash Records, on October 17th (this date will vary slightly internationally).

In the video below, Noel Gallagher reacts to claims from his brother that Liam's better off without him, now that they've gone their separate ways!

'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' features ten new songs and was recorded over the past year in London and Los Angeles. It was co-produced by Noel and David Sardy, who Noel has worked with previously.

Gallagher’s second album was done in collaboration with Amorphous Androgynous, a psych-rock offshoot of the British electronic band The Future Sound Of London. This as-yet untitled album will be released in 2012.

Gallagher plans to tour, though no dates have been announced yet.

While speaking about his new album, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Noel Gallagher finally explains exactly how and why Oasis broke up, and reveals the explosive details of what happened with his brother Liam that night in Paris...
