The next album from Oasis, Dig Out Your Soul, will be released on October 7, 2o08. The group's seventh studio album features the return of Dave Sardy as producer. The album was recorded at Abbey Road and mixed in Los Angeles.

In describing the approach to recording the album, Noel Gallagher stated, "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. Songs that you would maybe have to connect to -- to feel."

The first single off the upcoming album will be "The Shock of the Lightning."  Discussing the first single Noel said, "If ‘The Shock of the Lightning’ sounds instant and compelling to you, it’s because it was written dead fast. And recorded dead fast. ‘The Shock of the Lightning’ basically is the demo. And it has retained its energy. And there’s a lot to be said for that, I think. The first time you record something is always the best.”
