Noel Gallagher has shared that he'll be documenting the creation of his next album at Abbey Road Studios, capturing the "magic moments" that he and his band will share while recording the full-length follow-up to 2017's Who Built the Moon?
But before anyone can compare him to the Beatles, Gallagher made clear during his interview on The Matt Morgan Podcast that, despite the Abbey Road connection, his documentary footage would be nothing like Peter Jackson's recent eight-hour behemoth The Beatles: Get Back, featuring no footage of the rocker writing the music.
"Me writing, once you've seen it for an hour, then you've seen it," he said. "They're the Beatles and Paul McCartney is writing 'Get Back' and I'm writing a record which, frankly, with the best will of the world, not a lot of people are going to give a shit about."
"Me noodling away on the same five chords I've been using all my life going, 'Sunshine, through the rain, can't buy fame...' — it's not got the same gravitas," he continued.
He also discussed the album itself, saying that it's been written and will hopefully be recorded starting next month. He calls one of the record's acoustic ballads "one of my favourite songs that I've ever written. It's got great chords and it's very, very sad. In the verses the music is quite sad and the sentiment in the verses is quite strong, but in the chorus the music is quite uplifting and the words are quite sad. It's a fucking great song."
