The album was recorded in London earlier this year and completed in Los Angeles. It features 10 new tracks, produced by Gallagher and David Sardy, the producer of two Oasis albums, Don't Believe the Truth in 2005 and Dig Out Your Soul in 2008. It will be released through Gallagher's own label, Sour Mash Records.
Gallagher will tour the album this autumn, hoping for better sales than Liam enjoyed with his Beady Eye debut, Different Gear, Still Speeding, which peaked at No 3 in the UK charts upon its release in February.
At a press conference at the Electric Cinema in London's Notting Hill, Gallagher also revealed he has completed a second album, again recorded in the UK. It does not yet have a title but involves a collaboration with psychedelic outfit Amorphous Androgynous and will be released in 2012.
Gallagher talked for the first time about the dramatic bust up between him and his brother Liam, just before Oasis were due on stage in Paris for the Rock en Seine festival in August 2009. Asked why he had had enough of Oasis, Gallagher answered. "I hadn't had enough of Oasis, I had had enough of Liam." Gallagher described a fierce, if vaguely comic, argument with his brother, which saw Liamentering the dressing room "wielding a guitar like an axe".
The first single from Noel Gallagher's album will be announced shortly. The record will feature the Crouch End Festival Chorus and the Wired Strings.
