Liam Gallagher's post-Oasis effort Beady Eye has revealed the a the band's second album, titled simply Be, will likely come out this year.
'Flick of the Finger', a track from the upcoming album, made its debut on US radio and Gallagher said in a statement that the album's producer Dave Sitek gave the band a whole new lease of life. You can listen to the new track below.
"Working with Sitek just opened something up in us", Gallagher said. "He's without doubt the best producer I've ever worked with, a real outlaw - he doesn't give a fuck, no rules. We had a new found focus when we were writing it - we really got our heads down and got our shit together - clear heads, none of that crap from the 90's. It feels like a really special record for us."
We're not quite sure what the "crap from the 90's" that Liam is referring to actually is, but it's worth remembering that Oasis were one of the top selling British acts of that decade.
Producer Dave Sitek has worked in the past with Yeah Yeah Yeahs, CSS, Foals and TV On The Radio and describes the record as "trippy". The strength of the tracks is so high that we got to really play around. It's rock band instrumentation, but used in a different way. Liam's vocals are incredible, all you have to do is turn on a microphone and you're like, 'that sounds like a record! You don't have to do anything to them'.
