Noel Gallagher has claimed that Oasis's new LP Dig Out Your Soul is not their "usual thing".

The guitarist said the Manchester band's seventh album is not "Britpop" or radio-friendly.

"It's not our usual thing," he told the BBC. "It's just really exciting, three of the tracks have got two drummers on, me and Zak [Starkey] playing drums.

"Some of it sounds a bit glam. There's no pop singles on it. I'd be amazed if anything else gets on the radio past the first single."

He continued: "There's a kind of piano-y, John Lennon-y obligatory plod-away song in the middle, which Liam wrote. And that's to break up the two sides which are pretty intense, and it's full-on from start to finish."

Oasis's new single 'The Shock Of The Lightning' is released on September 29.
