Oasis will release their seventh studio album, Dig Out Your Soul, on October 7 in the U.S. It is the first under the band's new deal for their own Big Brother imprint. The lead single is "The Shock Of The Lightning," and Noel Gallagher says in a statement, "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."
